Product Breadcrumbs

Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue where changing a product’s category does not update the breadcrumb navigation on their Shopify store.

Problem identified:

  • The product belongs to multiple collections, which affects breadcrumb behavior
  • Breadcrumb logic depends on the specific theme’s Liquid template implementation

Suggested solutions:

  • Check the theme code to determine which collection the breadcrumb pulls from
  • Implement custom metafields that allow manual selection of the primary collection/breadcrumb for each product (estimated 1-2 hours to set up)
  • Review and potentially modify the collection name

The issue remains unresolved, with community members offering to examine the code directly to provide more specific guidance.

I want to change the breadcrumb for a product but if i change the category on the product nothing happens to the breadcrumb

Normally, in Shopify, breadcrumbs look like Collection Name > Product Name. However, breadcrumb behavior can vary depending on the Shopify theme and its Liquid template logic.

Because you product belongs to multiple collections.

Need to check the code and see which collection it takes from.

Another solution which usually works better for our customers - we setup custom metafields, where customer can choose the main collection/breadcrumb for the produt. This is quick fix - usually takes 1-2 hours.
