Is it possible to have link structure like this Homepage/category/sub-category/sub-sub-category/product? Becasue currently, only thing I see as possible is Category/product.
Sometimes page structures that I’m building are complex, and having that link structure with breadcrumbs would be great.
I thought it would be possible with Relationships, but I failed to make/have such thing.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset do not have any native feature or offer any shortcode to display the breadcrumbs.

To customize Breadcrumb on your Site, I actually suggest a third party plugin, as example YOAST - this is not something Toolset part:
=> hidden link

Or
Use any other third party plugin that best suits your needs:
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/breadcrumb/
=> hidden link

Additionally - Please check following Doc:

While have shortcode [yoast-breadcrumbs] that will help you to display Yoast’s breadcrumbs.

Hi Minesh,
thank you for your answer.
Yes, I'm aware of Yoast breadcrumbs option, and since I'm developing websites using Elementor, they also have breadcrumbs as feature. But my question is about making complex page structures and connecting pages in link structure as I wrote in previous question by using custom post types.

Sorry but when you say "complex page structures and connecting pages in link structure" what exactly do you mean by this phrase. Can I have a test case example so I can guide you in right direction.

However - for breadcrumb there is not much I can do other than the information I already shared with you.

Sorry I wan't clear enough.
See pics attached. First screenshot is (jlr001) is showing relationships and having Page to Page relationship isn't possible like we have in second screenshot (jlr004) where we have that 'Parent' option as a part of default WordPress 'Pages'.

Which means that we are limited to have that 'complex page relationship' I mentioned. Basically, custom post type should have that 'Parent' option like default wp Pages have in order to make what I made in on the example, check it out in this link hidden link - just 5 pages connected to each other.

This is an real example of 'troubles' we have when it comes to custom post types hidden link - its a webshop page, they have products and a lot of categories and sub categories, and to make CMS for all of that using toolset custom post types,
that 'parent' feature would solve some of issues.
Or you already have something like that, but I failed to learn that?

=> Yes - that is expected as self-join relationship is not supported by Types post relationship yet.

=> Ok - I understand what you are looking for but unfortunately there is no native way to achieve what you need.

I see a nice example with the following link that may help you:
=> hidden link

Where it says - the code is supsports following:

Home " Parent Page " Sub Page1 " Sub Page2

I suggest you should try to play with it and try to resolve your issue.
