Disabling Breadcrumb NavXT’s REST API

Posted by in Guides

One of the new features in Breadcrumb NavXT 6.1.0 is the introduction of several REST API endpoints. These endpoints allow for the retrieval of Schema.org BreadcrumbList compliant JSON-LD formatted breadcrumb trails for posts, terms, and author archives. This quick guide presents an example of how to disable the Breadcrumb NavXT REST API.

Given that not all sites want or need REST API access to breadcrumb trails, Breadcrumb NavXT 6.1.0 also allows its REST API to be completely disabled. This is accomplished through setting the BCN_DISABLE_REST_API named constant.

The Code

define('BCN_DISABLE_REST_API', true);

Placing the above code into wp-config.php will disable the Breadcrumb NavXT REST API for that WordPress install. It is as simple as that.

Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions 2.5.1

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Multidimension Extensions 2.5.1. Two bugs were fixed in this version. One issue relating to the erroneous inclusion of a root breadcrumb for the page post type when calling bcn_display_list_multidim_children(). Additionally, a bug that caused the $force parameter to not work for both bcn_display_list_multidim_* functions (and throw a PHP error), has been fixed. Note that this also affected the widget’s “Ignore breadcrumb cache” option.

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

Breadcrumb NavXT Polylang Extensions 1.5.0

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Polylang Extensions 1.5.0. This version features a few behavior changes from the previous version and improved compatibility with Polylang 2.1+.

Breadcrumb NavXT Polylang Extensions now automatically performs the translation of the Home link (result of get_home_url()) for breadcrumbs. Previously, Breadcrumb NavXT Polylang Extensions did not do this as it was believed to be something Polylang should handle itself for the result of get_home_url().

Additionally, the translation edit field for all Breadcrumb NavXT settings that accept HTML (e.g. breadcrumb templates) was changed to a textarea. Previously, this was a normal text input, which was not user friendly when using Schema.org BreadcrumbList compliant templates. This change echos recent changes in the Breadcrumb NavXT setting page.

Lastly, due to changes present in Polylang 2.1+, some text elements in Breadcrumb NavXT’s widget did not show up in the strings translations page. This was fixed in Breadcrumb NavXT Polylang Extensions 1.5.0.

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).
