Breadcrumbs for products in multiple categories

  • Hi
    I use Yith Proteo theme and Woocommerce and Yoast SEO

    I have several products that belong to multiple categories:
    For example product A belongs to the bellow categories
    category A
    category B
    category C3
    Category C3 has parent categories and the hierarchy is:
    Category-C/Category-C1/Category-C2

    What I need is

    1. when I visit the product page from Category A to have the bellow breadcrumb
    Home>>Category-A>>product-A

    2. when I visit the product page from Category B to have the bellow breadcrumb
    Home>>Category-B>>product-A

    3. when I visit the product page from Category C3 to have the bellow breadcrumb
    Home>>Category-C>>Category-C1>>Category-C2>>product-A

    4. when I visit the product page, not from a category but direct for example from my home page or from anywhere to have the bellow breadcrumb.
    Home>>preferable category>>product-A
    I need to be able to have set that a category will be my preferable Category
    So if I have set that category A is my preferable category then in this case the breadcrumb will be
    Home>>preferable category>>product-A

    How can I do this?

    From what I have read so far Breadcrumb NavXT doesn’t do what I need, but if I understood well this can be done if I purchase the premium extensionBreadcrumb NavXT Paths.
    Is that correct?
    My website is in Greek. Will these plugins work correctly for the Greek Language or not?

    So far I have installed Breadcrumb NavXT and doesn’t seem to work.
    I have set in General tab the Breadcrumb Separator to be >> and instead fo getting
    home>>>>category-a>>-product-a
    I get home/category-a/-product-a

    Thanks

    To answer the last part of your question, if the separator you are getting in the breadcrumb trail is not what is set in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings, it is likely the breadcrumb trail you see isn’t being generated by Breadcrumb NavXT. In your example, if you are getting / as your separator, it likely isn’t Breadcrumb NavXT doing that (the default separator for Breadcrumb NavXT is >).

    As for your first question, you are correct, out-of-the-box Breadcrumb NavXT does not support specifying a primary category, nor does it generate a breadcrumb trail based on the user’s path traveled to the post. Extra code is required to implement these features, which Breadcrumb NavXT Paths does provide (both a primary category and selecting a category by the path the user arrived at the post).

    Regarding other languages, Breadcrumb NavXT, out-of-the-box, should work well in any language. That said, if you’re creating a multilingual site, you should read the following article highlights what to expect (in this casefor WPML, but Polylang is similar): https://mtekk.us/archives/wordpress/plugins-wordpress/breadcrumb-navxt-and-wpml-compatibility/

    Hi John

    You are correct I was not getting the breadcrumb trail from Breadcrumb NavXT so the separator issue resolved.

    Breadcrumb NavXT Paths works only for posts or also for woocommerce single product pages?

    Thanks
