 * Hi,
    iam working on a onlineshop and i have a problem with the primary category
   function. I have a product and i want to put it in different categories. E.g.:
   category 1: Pillows (primary) category 2: New category 3: Sale The primary category
   is pillows. If i choose more categories for my products the plugin always put
   the product in the last category of the list. (In this example category 3: Sale)
   Although i set the primary category to catogry 1: Pillows
 * I have no idea why the plugin is working like that. I am using the Flatsome Theme.
   
   Hope you can help me. Thanks

 * I have the same problem.
 * Example: [http://www.silicongadget.com/internet/voip/skype-pulseaudio-microphone/3309/](http://www.silicongadget.com/internet/voip/skype-pulseaudio-microphone/3309/)
 * In the above example I associated the post to both Internet->Voip (primary as
   shown in the URL) and Operative systems -> Linux, but it shown the second as 
   breadcrumb.
