Hi everyone,

We’ve recently installed the Breadcrumb component ([Breadcrumb Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/breadcrumb-links/325372)) to help navigate our multi-level category hierarchy. However, we’ve run into an issue. As I know, Discourse currently supports a maximum of 3 levels for multi-category creation.

When viewing a topic that follows a hierarchy like Home/A/B/C, where A, B, and C represent multi-level categories, the breadcrumb display shows “Home/B/C” and skips category A altogether.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround to ensure that all levels of the hierarchy show up in the breadcrumb trail, or is this a limitation of the current Discourse setup?

Thanks for any insights!
