   Hi,

   I would like to display a link to the product parent category on a single product page. It should be like a breadcrumb but it should only have the name of the parent category.

   For example:

   Product CAT 1
   - Product X
   - Product Y

   When being on the product X page, a link should be displayed to Product CAT 1. Right now the breadcrumb looks like this:

   Home » Shop » Product category slug » Product name

   The Product category slug is always the same as it is the name configured at WooCommerce=>settings=>pages under 'Permalinks'. I think we should edit some code in the class-breadcrumb.php file located in abundance\framework\php\

   This is some code of the original class-breadcrumb.php file that I use:

   
/* Open the breadcrumb trail containers. */
$breadcrumb = '<div class="breadcrumb breadcrumbs avia-breadcrumbs"><div class="breadcrumb-trail">';

   /* If $before was set, wrap it in a container. */
   if ( !empty( $before ) )
   $breadcrumb .= '<span class="trail-before">' . $before . '</span> ';

   /* Wrap the $trail['trail_end'] value in a container. */
   if ( !empty( $trail['trail_end'] ) )
   $trail['trail_end'] = '<span class="trail-end">' . $trail['trail_end'] . '</span>';

   /* Format the separator. */
   if ( !empty( $separator ) )
   $separator = '<span class="sep">' . $separator . '</span>';

   /* Join the individual trail items into a single string. */
   $breadcrumb .= join( " {$separator} ", $trail );

   /* If $after was set, wrap it in a container. */
   if ( !empty( $after ) )
   $breadcrumb .= ' <span class="trail-after">' . $after . '</span>';

   /* Close the breadcrumb trail containers. */
   $breadcrumb .= '</div></div>';
   }

   /* Allow developers to filter the breadcrumb trail HTML. */
   $breadcrumb = apply_filters( 'avia_breadcrumbs', $breadcrumb );

   /* Output the breadcrumb. */
   if ( $echo )
   echo $breadcrumb;
   else
   return $breadcrumb;

   } // End avia_breadcrumbs()


   Any ideas to achieve this?

   Thanks and keep up the good work. I love this theme!

   Never mind. I already solved this by using this code:

   
<?php echo $_product->get_categories( ', ', ' <span class="posted_in">'.__('Category:', 'woothemes').' ', '.</span>'); ?>
