Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions 1.1.0

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions 1.1.0. This version switches to the WPML 3.2+ API for translating strings. Backwards compatibility with WPML 3.1 (and older) is maintained. However, users of other plugins (Polylang) that provide emulations of the WPML API may no longer work. Speaking of which, Polylang will get its own extension in early 2016. Additionally, a bug that prevented updated setting strings from Breadcrumb NavXT from showing up in the string translation screen on non-multisite installs in a timely matter.

Users with valid and activated license keys should receive an update notification within the WordPress dashboard and be able to use the update mechanism to update (just like with any plugin in the WordPress.org repository).

Breadcrumb NavXT 5.3.1

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

This is the first, and hopefully only, bug fix release of the 5.3 branch of Breadcrumb NavXT. Three bugs were mercilessly squashed in this release. These bugs were: a bug that occurred when upgrading settings, a bug that caused a PHP error when the post_type query variable was an array, and an issue with alignment of the settings page content on WordPress 4.4.

In previous versions, a bug in the options migration script prevented new CPTs and custom taxonomies settings, or settings added by extension plugins from being instantiated properly. This manifested itself as undefined index PHP warnings/errors.

In instances where the post_query query variable is an array (set by another plugin), previous versions of Breadcrumb NavXT would throw PHP errors. bcn_breadcrumb_trail::get_type_string_query_var() has been updated to return the default type string when the post_query variable is an array.

Lastly, WordPress 4.4 introduced a slight styling bug in the settings page. In this bug, the content under the settings tabs would be misaligned (fall off to the right edge of the screen). This release introduces a fix to this bug.

As always, you can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page. If you experience any issues with this version of Breadcrumb NavXT, please leave a comment on this post detailing the issue.

Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions 2.0.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

It was not too long ago the last release was announced, and now a new version of Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions is available. Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions 2.0.0 adds three new features; two new filters and one setting.

The two new filters, bcn_multidim_term_children and bcn_multidim_post_children, are in response to a need to filter the taxonomy terms and posts (pages) included in the second dimension of the breadcrumb trail. They filter the arguments string passed into wp_list_categories() and wp_list_pages() respectively. See the Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions Filter Reference for more details on these two filters.

Additionally, a setting was added to control the display of the second dimension breadcrumbs of the home breadcrumb when on the home page. This only applies to when children are displayed in the second dimension (either via the widget, or calling bcn_display_list_multidim_children()). This setting is available on the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page under the Extensions tab.

You can grab Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions from the WordPress.org plugin repository.
