Hi,

I added the multicolumn feature for my category pages to get the text and image lined up the way I wanted it. I’m now realizing my breadcrumbs disappeared when I made this change. I’m not sure where to go to add the breadcrumbs back. Any ideas?

Image 1 is before the multicolumn was added breadcrumb is there. Image 2 is the way I want it to appear but is missing breadcrumbs.

Thank you!
