I am building a woo site.
i want the structure of the shop to show categories on the shop page, then sub categories, then products like this:
shop page: parent categories
- maybe sub categories
- maybe sub sub categories
- products
- maybe sub sub categories
I’ve figured out how to do that already. but my problem is breadcrumbs.
my top level page: Product Categories – Astro Jump DC corectly shows home/products
my sub categories page, incorrectly misses the product level. Moon Bounces – Astro Jump DC shows only Home/Moon Bounces
likewise sub-sub categories miss the product level Themed Moon Bounces – Astro Jump DC shows only Home/Moon Bounces/Themed Moon Bounces
weirdly the SINGLE product manages breadcrumbs just fine. Unicorn Moon Bounce Rental – Astro Jump DC shows Home/Products/Moon Bounces/Themed Moon Bounces
I’ve tried every variation on the breadcrumb settings i can think of (including using product_cat as the taxonomy slug, enabling “show post type archive” and selecting products as a post type. these all have effects on the single product template, but changing them doesn’t seem to do anything on the product archives (i.e. the category pages)
i made a video to further explain what im seeing: Vento - 8 December 2025
