How to add breadcrumbs navigation in Venture theme

Topic summary

Goal: add breadcrumb navigation to the Shopify Venture theme, ideally showing Home > Collection > Product, even when arriving via search.

Implementation provided:

  • Create a breadcrumbs.liquid snippet and include it in theme.liquid above {{ content_for_layout }}. Add CSS styling. Optional: add a theme setting (settings_schema.json) to toggle breadcrumbs. Screenshots and code snippets are central.

Key issue raised:

  • Breadcrumbs initially showed only Home > Product, skipping the collection.

Community fix for missing collection:

  • In /snippets/product-card.liquid, change product links from {{ product.url }} to {{ product.url | within: collection }} to preserve collection context in URLs. Note: if a product is visited outside a collection (e.g., via search), the collection may still be absent.

Styling/layout adjustments:

  • Unwanted white space appeared around the banner. Resolved by setting .main-content margin-top: 0px in theme.scss.liquid and adding extra spacing via

    around the breadcrumb list.

Additional info:

  • A French post shares a complete breadcrumb implementation (Liquid + CSS) for the Dawn theme and warns to back up before editing.

Status: Practical solutions shared; functionality works with collection context fix and CSS tweaks. Thread remains open for styling refinements.
