# Breadcrumb and formatting issues

 * I have a website that is being organized using posts and pages, the pages are
   used for product pages and categories and sub categories and the posts are used
   for the individual products.
 * You can take a look at the structure below using the links. The problem I am 
   having is using the breadcrumbs code, since it uses $post->parent. So the code
   works great for the hierarchy until you click on the individual products, which
   takes you to the “posts” section of the website. I hope I’ve explained myself
   correctly and really appreciate the help.

       <?php
       	            $parent_id  = $post->post_parent;
       	            $breadcrumbs = array();
       	            while ($parent_id) {
       	              $page = get_page($parent_id);
       	              $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="'.get_permalink($page->ID).'" title="">'.get_the_title($page->ID).'</a>';
       	              $parent_id  = $page->post_parent;
       	            }
       	            $breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs);
       	            foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo "$crumb";
       	          ?>
       ```
