Add Category to Breadcrumbs on Product Page

Did send a bug report. Hard to tell if I chose the right options for this. Maybe we all should hammer the same inbox for this topic. Any suggestions?

Please post your site-wide password we can't get in to see your site.

me distracted … here it is

s0lv!ngbrE@dcrumbs

I'm not sure why my website is so important, I see the same happening on @jdillagodzilla site for example.

edit: I also see the same thing happening on the websites of @kindandbrave. It was questioned, that there are prducts nested in categories. I see categories there … like “Fathers Day“ e.g.

Has anyone found a fix for this? I'm just finishing off my site and this is by far the most annoying thing about 7.1 - it would irritate me endlessly as a customer if I were browsing a site. I'd love to either 'fix' the category menu in place on all category pages/product pages or be able to include categories in the breadcrumb menu. A would-be customer isn't gonna want to go through shop -> all -> category they're interested in every time.. 😭

I got an answer from the support.

What feels like a bug for the most of us, is state of design by now, referring to this site:

https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/231746347-Styling-Store-Pages#toc-store-page

Edit: It's said, that it may be presented to the developers team. I'm unsure if this is a general text brick. Let's hope for the best!
And continue sending bug reports / feature requests!

Can you share link to category pages?

edit: deleted my whole comment … did not understand this upvoting a post thing at first, thought my post dissapeared.

So I decided to just add handmade breadcrumbs for the categories as first line in my additional informations – I have to add specified text in every product anyway. It's an easy peasy workaround for now.

And later on maybe I'll add a tag cloud somewhere.

Would the solution to this work on 7.0? I'd rather not have to move to 7.1  yet.

He created a plugin that's super affordable here: https://sf.digital/breadcrumbs-extension

It's so so so worth it! For now they are hidden on mobile, because of the size of the screen—but honestly desktop is where it was necessary.

They are available on mobile now too @kindandbrave. The installation guide has been updated 😃.

There's still no solve for this. I can't believe Squarespace hasn't fixed it. I've requested it. The more people who ask for it, the more likely they'll be to create it! Request it here.

Squarespace has quickly become THE WORST online platform to build a website. I've tried to steer many people towards Wix which allows unfiltered customization without code. It's completely ridiculous to expect paying customers to know code if they want to customize their site on a site building platform.

Want to change something on mobile but not desktop? Use Wix. Want to change a single font that is not part of your theme? Use Wix. Want to have a hover function on a sub nav? Use Wix. Want to do literally anything outside the realm of a strict template? USE WIX.

Every single one of these issues is a single click away on Wix. On Squarespace it is a matter of Googling your problem (not to mention you have to have know the specific terminology for your problem), find your code that is specific to someone else's site, download an extension to find out a block-id number, enter in custom code, see that the custom code fails, repeat steps until you find code that works. All for the simple fix of what — changing a font size? Making a gallery show three images instead of two on mobile? If these changes aren't a single click away then what is the point of offering a web building platform?

And no, Squarespace does not help at all with these problems, you rely on a completely user based forum for the entirety of your website to function. What a joke. I will steer every client to Wix.
