I'm customizing rwd theme. I'm not able to show breadcrumb on product page.

In admin breadcrumb is enabled for CMS pages. Inside rwd/default/layout/page.xml

<block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>

is present. Even I tried adding 

<block reference="header">
   <block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>

to default handle in page.xml

Inside catalog/product/view.phtml I've tried following codes

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock('breadcrumbs')->toHtml(); ?>

and 

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('breadcrumbs') ?>

Still it's not appearing on product page.

In default rwd theme the breadcrumbs are coming on product details page.

Check at Template file:

Basically magento calls the breadcrumb in root template files 1column.phtml, 2columns-left.phtml etc. using the code <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('breadcrumbs') ?> .

Check at page.xml

And on page.xml it defines the breadcrumb block. You need to check this at thing on product details page.

Check at other layout file:

You need check any layout code that might remove the breadcrumb using below code:

<catalog_product_view>
...
<remove name="breadcrumbs" />
...
</catalog_product_view>

or

<catalog_product_view>
...
<reference name="root"> 
....               
    <action method="unsetChild"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>
...    
</reference>
...

  • @Amit: I see it's present in page.xml and 1column.phtml also. When I see page source readcrumb div is loading but title and links are null. <div class="breadcrumbs"> <ul> <li class=""> <a href="" title=""></a> <span> </span> </li> <li class=""> <a href="" title=""></a> <span> </span></li> <li class=""><strong></strong> </li> </ul> </div>

  • @vnnogile_user: it's an old thread. I think someone has added display:none; at that time.
