Private Pages as Root Page for CPTs

Traditionally, the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page has only allowed published/publicly visible pages be the root page for custom post types. This follows what WordPress core does with the homepage and posts page. However, in some circumstances, having a private page be the root page for a custom post type makes sense.

Introduced in Breadcrumb NavXT 7.4, the bcn_admin_post_root_args filter allows for control over the arguments passed into the root page drop down. Below is an example of using the bcn_admin_post_root_args filter to allow private pages to show up in the root page drop down:

add_filter('bcn_admin_post_root_args', 'my_bcn_admin_post_root_args', 10, 2);
function my_bcn_admin_post_root_args($args, $post_type_name)
{
	$args['post_status'] = array('publish','private');
	return $args;
}

This can be extended to only allow private pages to be the root page for specific post types (by checking the $post_type_name parameter for the desired post type). Lastly, while the setting is for the root page, it does not have to be limited to the page post type.

Breadcrumb NavXT 7.4.1

This is the first, and hopefully only, bug fix release of the 7.4 branch of Breadcrumb NavXT. In 7.4.0, changes made to improve WordPress 6.7 compatibility resulted in Breadcrumb NavXT registering the legacy widget too late in the action sequence. This release fixes that issue making the legacy widget available again.
