Hi All,

I’m building my Shopify store using the Dawn theme & I can’t seem to get the product path to show on the product page so that customers can easily navigate back to the collection. I have followed advice from other posts but can’t seem to get it working on my store. I have added the breadcrumbs snippet, but not sure how to get this snippet into to my theme.

Any help would be appreciated!

Code so far - breadcrumbs.liquid

{% unless template == ‘index’ or template == ‘cart’ or template == ‘list-collections’ %}

Home

{% if template contains ‘page’ %}

›

{{ page.title }}

{% elsif template contains ‘product’ %}

{% if collection.url %}

›

{{ collection.title | link_to: collection.url }}

{% endif %}

›

{{ product.title }}

{% elsif template contains ‘collection’ and collection.handle %}

›

{% if current_tags %}

{% capture url %}/collections/{{ collection.handle }}{% endcapture %}

{{ collection.title | link_to: url }}

›

{{ current_tags | join: " + " }}

{% else %}

{{ collection.title }}

{% endif %}

{% elsif template == ‘blog’ %}

›

{% if current_tags %}

{{ blog.title | link_to: blog.url }}

›

{{ current_tags | join: " + " }}

{% else %}

{{ blog.title }}

{% endif %}

{% elsif template == ‘article’ %}

›

{{ blog.title | link_to: blog.url }}

›

{{ article.title }}

{% else %}

›

{{ page_title }}

{% endif %}

{% endunless %}
