Our client wants the product category to remain in the breadcrumb path when viewing a product page, however, we're only seeing the breadcrumbs for the main store page and the product (Store > Product). On a category page we're seeing the category (Store > Category) but it's not present on the product pages.

We have simplified breadcrumbs set to "no" and we also have cache turned off in the breadcrumb module.

Hi,

Turning off the "simplified breadcrumb" will indeed allow for the full category path to be in the breadcrumbs module.
It does that by adding an entry "category_pathway" parameter in the URL of the product page with the id of the category as value of that parameter.
However, I can see that you have the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting activated.
So if you already have canonical URLs on your products without that extra category_pathway parameter, then you won't get the category_pathway parameter added and thus it won't change anything.
So you'll have to empty the "canonical URL" parameter of your products so that the system can regenerate them with the category_pathway extra parameter, which will then allow for the breadcrumbs to display the category path.
Note that you can empty the canonical URL parameter of all your products at once with a mass action with an action "update the values" on the product_canonical column.
