I'm running Hikashop to display a range of products divided to categories and subcategories and thus the product menu has two levels.
The problem starts when i click on a main category and the 2nd level of category links is displayed: a random 2nd level link is highlighted.
Example: [ ](http://www.intera.ee/index.php/pehme-moobel)[ www.intera.ee/index.php/pehme-moobel](http://www.intera.ee/index.php/pehme-moobel) where when i click on "Pehme mööbel" menu link the subcategory expands and the menu link "Voodid" is highlighted. Similar random menu link highlight appears for every second level category on the site. What causes it and how is it fixable?

Also, it would appear that the breadcrumbs have two different inconsistencies:
1. depending on whether i click on subcategory menu link or pictogram on the site, it either displays or doesn't display the subcategory in the breadcrumb.
2. when i follow a link from a product page to an associated product page or the the manufacturer page the breadcrumb does not update. I did read that the breadcrumb only displays the pathway, not the actual location of the displayed hikashop content, but is there a workaround to this to make the breadcrumb functional again?

Hi,

The breadcrumb depend on your menu/module configuration. If you display all sub elements in the product listing, it can't determinate the final category of the product and give you a correct breadcrumb.

The associated product page will use the same itemid than the previous product page. If the related product is not in the same "base category" used by the menu (so the itemid), it won't be able to find the product under this category and so, display a right breadcrumb.

Can you please provide more details about your menu/module configuration ?
Some screenshots should be good.

Regards,
