Ensuring a positive customer experience has become the top priority of eCommerce businesses in 2022 – even overtaking product price and quality as a key brand differentiator according to some analysts.
And one of the most important factors that ensure a positive customer experience is intuitive and seamless website navigation. According to Top Design Firm’s 2021 findings, 38% of customers look for the page’s navigational links and layout when visiting the site for the first time.

WooCommerce generates shop, category, tag, single product breadcrumbs out of the box. Such breadcrumbs should follow your WooCommerce permalink settings. For example, I use the “Shop base with category” option under WordPress > Permalinks.

Well, WooCommerce gives us a cool filter called “woocommerce_get_breadcrumb” that we can use to edit the breadcrumb content before displaying it.
