Breadcrumb for brand archive page

Assuming you’re using WooCommerce, there are two settings most users will want to have set/changed in Breadcrumb NavXT:

• “Products Root Page” should be set to the same page as the “Shop page” in WooCommerce. In this case, I assume you have a “Brands” page and would set both settings to use that page.
• “Product Archive Display” should be unchecked.

I followed through on the two instructions but didn’t seem make a difference in the trail, perhaps I have a wrong permalink setup?

Here are the URLs I have for the relevant pages:

shop page: mysite.com/shop/
brands page: mysite.com/brands/
brand1 archive: mysite.com/product-brands/brand1
single product: mysite.com/product/brand1-dining-table

The trail shows perfect on the single product page, it’s only the brand archive pages I have the problem with
I would like the “Shop” changed to “Brands” only in the brands archive pages without influencing the single product pages, with the “Brands” trail linking to the page: mysite.com/brands/

Ok, I didn’t catch that brands was something distinct from the shop before. Do you know how “Brands” are being implemented (e.g. are they a post type or a taxonomy)?

Yes exactly the Brands are basically a Taxonomy and the brand-name is the Term (the taxonomy name is yith_product_brand)
Here’s what the edit screen looks like:

The problem here is that, currently, Breadcrumb NavXT does not recognize taxonomies as standalone entities. That is, it is assumed that taxonomies are used to identify/group posts (of one or many post types). Hence, taxonomies are assumed to be descendants of a post type archive/root page. This is partly due to the fact that WordPress seemly treats taxonomies the same way (the “blog” page is the root page for the Post post type, no equivalent for taxonomies exists).

Given in 6.0, root page support for author archives is being considered, something similar for taxonomies could be considered as well.
