Breadcrumb NavXT 7.3.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Holy revamped block Batman! Introduced originally in 6.3.0, the Breadcrumb Trail block has been rewritten in 7.3.0 to have feature parity with the Breadcrumb NavXT widget. This includes the ability to set the breadcrumb output order, output format, and whether or not the breadcrumbs are linked. Additionally, basic styling support via the editor was added.

On the bugfix front, the settings export/import function was updated to fix issues with handling boolean settings. Previously, if a boolean had a default value of ‘true’ it’s value would get lost in the export/import process. The recently introduced $outer_template parameter for the bcn_display() functions now actually works (it accidentally was dropped). display_json_ld() now produces unescaped Unicode JSON, which is easier to read (and given JSON is supposed to be Unicode text, escaping Unicode didn’t make sense). Lastly, a couple of data sanity checks are performed to reduce PHP warnings and errors when 3rd party code breaks the WordPress API.

Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 2.3.1

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing an update to Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic that enhances PHP8 compatibility. The previous version improperly set the URL to NULL when generating an unlinked breadcrumb (a remnant of Breadcrumb NavXT behavior prior to 6.4) . This resulted in PHP warnings being thrown within the bcn_breadcrumb::set_url() method in PHP8 environments. With version 2.3.1, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic now uses the proper API calls for Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 and newer.

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 WPML Extensions 1.5.6

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing an update to Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions that enhances compatibility with the WPML 4.x. Previously, WPML transparently handled translation of Custom Post Type (CPT) labels, including when displayed in the breadcrumb trail. However, at some point this behavior stopped working. Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions 1.5.6 adds a new translation domain, “Breadcrumb NavXT CPT Title”, which is populated with the CPT titles for translation. These titles are registered every time the Breadcrumb NavXT settings are saved in the settings page.
