Using breadcrumbs with folders?

Design help General
1

Hi guys,

I’m trying to implement breadcrumbs on a website that uses folders. For example,
Home
Companies Folder (>1)
Companies About

The problem is when I use custom code, it shows “Home - parent folder - page”
So by the time I click into a Company About page, because the parent folder is “Companies About” then the breadcrumb shows “Home - Companies About - Item” when I wanted it to show “Home - Companies folder - Companies About - Item”

It seems like the only solution is to use 301’s but im curious to see if somebody has dealt with this before.

Thanks in advance!

Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

Hey Matthew, you’d need to share your readonly project link and a published site link to demonstrate what you’re trying to do.

Breadcrumbs don’t need to be tied to the URL path itself, and that approach is limited in Webflow.

What I typically do is create a breadcrumbs element set, which can vary by page. On collection pages it can make use of CMS references to provide a richer navigation.
