Magento 2 - Breadcrumbs not showing full path

Question

My breadcrumbs are only showing like Home > Productname

instead of Home > Category -> Subcategory -> Productname

Is there a way to fix this? I tried with the fresh mangento luma theme, to show that it is not a fault of my theme.

Answer 1

I found the solution here.

When you land on product page from category page then breadcrumb will be

Home -> Product Category -> Product Name

But when you click on product other then category listing page then breadcrumb will be

Home -> Product Name

This is not a issue that how magento work.

I wonder if you can change it so that it always shows the category, this would be much better.

EDIT: Solution for full breadcrumbs path can be found here.
