Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 2.3

Posted by in Announcements

Introducing Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 2.3. This release changes the way the menu used for the breadcrumb trail is selected. Since this plugin’s inception, there has been a “Use Menu” setting under the Menu Magic section of the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page. Starting with version 2.3, this setting has been deprecated. In its place, a new menu location is now registered by Menu Magic, the Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic Menu location.

Now, to select the menu for Breadcrumb NavXT to use for generating the breadcrumb trail, visit the WordPress Menu editor. Select the menu you wish to use, and near the bottom of the page in the Menu Settings, make sure for the Display location “Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic Menu” is checked.

Lastly, some changes were made to the admin licensing manger. Several of the response messages were previously incorrect and have been fixed. Additionally, a “force key deactivation” method for situations where the site has been migrated to a new URL and key deactivation fails was added.

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). If you run into any issues, please open a support ticket.

Breadcrumb NavXT Premium Extensions 2022 Update Sweep

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing a minor update to all of the Breadcrumb NavXT premium extensions. This update fixes a bug introduced when support for Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 was added. An error was introduced which caused an empty menu entry to be added to the WordPress dashboard menu (when using Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 or newer). This has been fixed in the update released today for each of the premium extensions.

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). If you run into any issues, please open a support ticket.

Updates to the BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_* Constants Behavior

Posted by in Announcements

Beginning with Breadcrumb NavXT 7.1, the behavior of the BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_NETWORK and BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_LOCAL constants are changing. Previously, while both would try to favor their respective settings (local vs network), the resulting settings did not differ significantly from the BCN_SETTINGS_USE_* counterparts. Since Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 changed to storing only non-default settings to the database, it made sense to update the logic behind the two BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_* constants.

In Breadcrumb NavXT 7.1, BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_LOCAL merges the local site settings (stored in the database) into the network settings, which, in turn, are merged into the default setting values. This results in a behavior where non-default values for local site settings will override the corresponding network settings.

Similarly, in Breadcrumb NavXT 7.1, BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_NETWORK merges the network settings (stored in the database) into the local settings, which, in turn, are merged into the default setting values. This results in a behavior where non-default values for network settings will override the corresponding local site settings.

In summary, Breadcrumb NavXT 7.1 implements changes to the BCN_SETTINGS_FAVOR_* constants that make them behave in a more logical and useful manner.
