How do I change the code for breadcrumbs in the master theme?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing breadcrumb navigation issues on product pages due to URL redirects. Products are being redirected from collection-based URLs (e.g., /collections/digitrak-falcon-f5/products/...) to direct product URLs (e.g., /products/...), causing the breadcrumbs to fail displaying the collection name.

Current Problem:

  • The breadcrumb code relies on the collection name appearing in the URL
  • After redirect, collection information is lost from the URL path
  • Breadcrumbs cannot determine which collection to display

Proposed Solution:
Another user (Raj-webdesigner) offered to help by providing replacement breadcrumb code, though the complete solution code appears corrupted or improperly formatted in the thread.

Status: The discussion remains open with a partial solution attempt. The replacement code snippet is incomplete or garbled, suggesting the conversation may need follow-up for a working implementation.

what to do if a link redirect is made
https://ucghdd.com/collections/digitrak-falcon-f5/products/used-digitrak-falcon-f5-locator-receiver-stock-number-a391 on https://ucghdd.com/products/used-digitrak-falcon-f5-locator-receiver-stock-number-a391
and because of this, the breadcrumbs do not work correctly, they do not display the desired collection.

this is the code that is currently used for bread crumbs. but due to the fact that the name of the collection is not displayed in the link, the collection is not displayed.

{% assign search_category = search_category | default: blank %}
{% assign show_breadcrumbs = true %}

{% if show_breadcrumbs %}
{% capture cat_array %}{%- render 'advanced-tag-loop' -%}{% endcapture %}
{% assign cat_array = cat_array | split: '|' %}

{%- capture delimiter -%}
<span class="breadcrumbs-delimiter" aria-hidden="true">
