1. Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for the great work. I just discovered this plugin but I am having trouble getting it work with my custom post types.

   I’ve put this into my single-products.php

   <div class="breadcrumbs">
<?php
if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
{
bcn_display();
}
?>
</div>

   My products custom post type taxonomy hierarchy goes like this:

   – TV’s
   — LCD’s
   — Plasmas

   – Audio
   –speakers
   — sound-sytems

   – Movies
   –bluray movies
   –DVD movies

   I want my product page to display a breadcrumb like this :

   Products > TV’s > Plasmas > Sony 42″ plasma screen

   However currently my breadcrumb shows like this:

   Home > My posts static front page > Sony 42″ plasma screen

   How do get the hierarchy to work properly with my custom taxonomy hierarchy?
   Thanks!

   • You are going to need to look at the settings page, go to the tab with your custom post type’s name, and set a taxonomy and root page appropriate for you custom post type.

     • Thats the problem, the only options I see for the “Products” tab are:
       Prefix, Suffix, Anchor, Root page

       No taxonomy options.
       My custom post type was created with Custom Post Type UI

       • Are “Products” a hierarchical post type? If so they will be treated similar to pages (no taxonomy hierarchy in their breadcrumb trail).

         -John Havlik

         • Yes it is a hierarchical post type. In this case, how can I achieve the taxonomy hierarchy in my breadcrumb?

         • Hierarchical post types will follow their own hierarchy, only “flat” post types have the choice of a taxonomy in their breadcrumb trail. You would need to evaluate why you have chosen a hierarchical post type, and change to a flat post type if it works for your situation.

2. After upgrading plug-in, we’re getting following error on saving changes:

   The following settings were not saved:
   post_page_root
   post_post_root
   Please include this message in your bug report.

   Note that, I’m using custom post types…

   • Krunal,

     Thanks for reporting this. I will look into this later this week (overloaded with other things at the moment). At that time I may have more questions for you.

     -John Havlik

   • I found the cause to this. I forgot that I had to add these two “phantom” options that are only there to simplify the code in a few sections. It is now fixed in the SVN trunk and will make it into the 3.8.1 release this Friday.

3. I only want to show the pagination prefix on my mainsite and the pages of the mainsite, not on the pages.

   For example:
   http://www.beedy.de/2011/02/21/probleme-mit-feedburner-beseitigen/

   At the bottom of the page right over the footer, you see the breadcrumbs “little beedy inside > WordPress > Probleme mit Feedburner beseitigen > Artikel der Seite 1”. I only want to show here “little beedy inside > WordPress > Probleme mit Feedburner beseitigen”.

   On the several pages of the index, it should show the pagination. How can I implement this?

   Best Regards
   Stefan

   • Stefan,

     You want the “paged” breadcrumb to show up on archives, but not on single posts or pages? If that is the case, you will want to use 3.7.0, until the next release (unless you need any of the other new features in 3.8.0). I will need to add an additional setting or two for this, depending on the granularity needed.

     -John Havlik

4. Hi John,

   Yes, thats the way I want to use the breadcrumbs. It would be great when you can put this as additional setting in a following release! :-)

   Thanks a lot for this great plugin!

5. Hi,

   Firstly great plugin. However, I’m having a bit of trouble – I just upgraded WP to 3.0.5 and NavXT to 3.8.0, and suddenly I get the following error in my pages and posts:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_convert_case() in {…}\wp-content\plugins\breadcrumb-navxt\breadcrumb_navxt_admin.php on line 827

   I also get the same error in the admin page:
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_convert_case() in {…}\wp-content\plugins\breadcrumb-navxt\breadcrumb_navxt_admin.php on line 705

   • Looks like your PHP install is missing multibyte character support. Inquire with your webhost on how to enable multibyte support.

   Is this a problem?

   Thanks, Arno

   • As per my reply to the other reports of this, it was fixed in the SVN trunk yesterday (and will be fixed in 3.8.1). The issue it would cause is not apparent due to another bug, which has also been fixed in the SVN trunk.

   • Is this a new install? And what method did you use to install the plugin?

     -John Havlik

     • Hello,
       I’ve got the same problem. Settings not saved.
       Fresh install of latest WP and plugin downloaded from WP official site.

       • Pixo,

         How did you install the plugin? Did you upload via FTP and activate from the plugins menu or did you use WordPress’ built in plugin installer?

         Also, did you see a message about your settings being out of date when you first visited the settings page for Breadcrumb NavXT?

         -John Havlik

    • Yep, others have seen that as well. I fixed it a few nights back in the SVN trunk and it will be part of the upcoming release (3.8.1).

11. Bug report:

    The following settings were not saved:
    post_page_root
    post_post_root

    Version 3.8.0

    • Breadcrumb NavXT 3.8.1, which fixes this, is now available please update to that version.

      -John Havlik

12. Hi,

    i got “the following settings were not saved as the others” but in my breadcrumb there is now a page name. It looks like “Home / Page Name / category1 /subcategory /article. On pages and subpages the breadcrumb doesnt list the full page path, just the subpage.

    Thank you
    Wolf

    • Breadcrumb NavXT 3.8.1, which fixes this, is now available please update to that version and see if the second issue still persists. If so, go to the post for 3.8.1 and report the issue there.

13. Hi there,

    I am using an old version of this plugin, it was called breadcrumb-navigation-xt before, it’s in my theme in a tools folder and the file name is : breadcrumb-navigation-xt.php

    Until now I don’t have to complain, it did the job perfectly.

    However, since I upgraded to version 3.1 of WP, the breadcrumb doesn’t work, only for CATEGORY pages where the catergory name is missing.

    I don”t want to uninstall it and modify the whole theme for that, so I was wondering if you could help me to fix it !

    Thanks in advance guys !

    • Simon,

      Breadcrumb Navigation XT is no longer supported, and has not been supported for over two years now. Since I am a busy graduate student who is also working, I only have time to support the latest major release of my plugin.

      -John Havlik

      • Hi John,

        Ok I will upgrade, this is not the easy way but I understand your concerns too, studies are important :)

        Thx anyway !
