# Breadcrumbs Bug

 * When the product page is open the Breadcrumbs are wrongly shown.
    When sub-category
   page is open everything is okay.
 * When enabled they are shown like this:
 * **Home » Catalog » Main Category » Sub-category 1 » Sub-category 2**
 * When open the last level (the product page), they **should be** shown like this:
 * **Home » Catalog » Main Category » Sub-category 1 » Sub-category 2 » Product**
 * But they are shown like this:
 * **Home » Catalog » Product**
 * Subsequently, when visitor is in the product page, he can’t go directly in chosen
   category but has to go to Catalog page and start again from the beginning. Moreover,
   the clue in what sub-category is the product disappears.
    This makes the Plugin
   unusable for catalogs with sub-categories.
 * How can this bug be corrected?

 * Hi,
 * The breadcrumbs are generated from the URL structure.
 * If you want to include the categories in the product URL you should use the Smarter
   Product URLs extension from the catalog extensions menu.
 * If you want to display current category tree you can also use the categories 
   widget with the [‘Show children only on category page’ option active](https://implecode.com/docs/premium-toolset/show-category-tree-only-on-category-page/).

 * I understand.
    The Products URLs are somehow intentionally designed this way 
   so that to force you use extension. This disappoint me.

 * Hi [@mrblond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrblond/),
 * This is not designed by the plugin. This is the WordPress URL structure for custom
   post types. For most of the usages it is OK because one product can be assigned
   to many categories.
 * The extension has been created for some specific usage scenarios.

 * I don’t know but other catalog plugins that I’ve tried make it exactly the right
   way without doing nothing:
 * **Catalog » Main Category » Sub-category 1 » Sub-category 2 » Product**
 * and the URL includes sub-categories and product (no extensions needed).

 * Maybe they don’t use WordPress custom post types or do such URL rewrites by default.
   We didn’t do it because it is not required for most usage scenarios (in most 
   cases one product is added to many categories)
