# WooCommerce Permalink issue

 *  Resolved [lucas81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucas81/)

 * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-permalink-issue/)
 * I’d like my URL structure to be like this:
   Shop page: [http://www.url.com/products/](http://www.url.com/products/)
   Product category page: [http://www.url.com/products/category/](http://www.url.com/products/category/)
   Product page: [http://www.url.com/product/product-name/](http://www.url.com/product/product-name/)
   Where the breadcrumbs should be like this: Home / Products / Category / Product-
   nameThis would be a very logical option to me, however I cannot get it done. 
   Closest I get is hiding the shop page and adding a category `Products` above 
   all products but then the url of this page will be [http://www.url.com/products/products/](http://www.url.com/products/products/)
   Any suggestions?

   > Product page: [http://www.url.com/product/product-name/](http://www.url.com/product/product-name/)
 * To achieve the desired URL structure, navigate to Settings > Permalinks, and 
   set the URL structure in Optional as required. Something like, use /products/%
   product_cat%/.
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/s12.gifyu.com/images/StRUE.gif?ssl=1)
 * This should give you the desired URL structure for your product categories. However,
   for individual product pages, WooCommerce by default adds /product/ before the
   product name in the URL. To remove this, you would need a plugin like [Premmerce Permalink Manager for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-permalink-manager/).
 * > Where the breadcrumbs should be like this: Home / Products / Category / Product-
   > name
 * This depends on the theme. However, you can use a plugin like [Breadcrumb NavXT](https://wordpress.org/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/),
   [Rank Math SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/) or [Yoast SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/).
   These plugins allow you to customize your breadcrumb path.
 * Please be aware that changing the URL structure can affect your SEO. It’s recommended
   to create redirects from your old URLs to your new ones to prevent 404 errors.
 * I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to 
   ask.

 * Hi Shameem, thanks for responding. Basically from the current situation all I
   want is for the label `Products` to appear before the breadcrumb, which links
   to the shop page. No URL’s are changed.
 * Every suggestion you posted I get some result but not the desired one. I use 
   Rankmatch Pro which enables me to remove the categorie slug but this affects 
   all categories, not just the top level one.
 * Basically I would be ok if there is just some way to insert the shop page as 
   a first level item in the breadcrumb. Like this:
   Home -> Product-category -> 
   Product-titleHome -> Shop page -> Product-category -> Product-title
 * Any way this would be possible?
