breadcrumbs for product catalog

Hi Danny,

This is normal and it’s because it’s taking the title and URL of the page on which you put the [product-catalogue] shortcode. The catalog uses this page to build all the layouts, including the individual product page. As such, as far as your theme is concerned, you’re still on that same WordPress page (the page on which you put the [product-catalogue] shortcode).

so it sounds like there is no built-in way to have the breadcrumb or page title refer to the product name?

Hi Danny,

Many different themes create their breadcrumbs in many different ways. It would be difficult for us to come up with a solution that automatically modifies the breadcrumbs of all the themes out there. Our products are not individual custom post type posts, which is likely why the breadcrumbs of your theme don’t read them as such. It would require some custom coding to how your breadcrumbs function to get them working with individual product pages.

Understood. The theme uses home/parentpage/pagename as its breadcrumb structure, so as your catalog is being seen as all on one page, it makes sense it doesn’t change for products.
As a feature request, how about adding a shortcode with just a UPCP breadcrumb? Maybe precede it with a text field in UPCP settings that would be the first part of an internal UPCP breadcrumb, then category/subcategory/ and the product name is the last part if viewing product details. That way at least it’s an easy way to have theme independent breadcrumbs for any catalog pages.
Thanks.
