How to show only parent category name(using is_shop)

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to add category parent name above page name, for example if breadcrumb is:

    home/shop/shoes/example-product

    then in single product page(or category page) it would look like it:

    > Shop
    Example Product

    right now it’s only

    Example Product

    I’ve tried using:

    <?php
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
echo $parent_title;
?>

    and it works in normal pages, even in product categories but in single product it gives product name instead of parent category name. It’s kinda weird, since all my products are assigned to categories.

    Any help with that?

    I’ve tried it from wrong direction – what I would like to achieve is simple link “back to parent category” link above item name.

    I’m using:

    <?php if($post->post_parent) {
$parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $parent_link; ?>"><?php
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
echo $parent_title;
?></a>
<?php } ?>

    for “normal pages”, but it doesn’t show anything in single product page, so i assume there’s a need for different code.
