Breadcrumb NavXT BuddyPress Extensions 1.0.2

Posted by in Announcements

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT BuddyPress Extensions 1.0.2. This version fixes two bugs present in the previous version of Breadcrumb NavXT BuddyPress Extensions.

The first issue fixed was the PHP errors that appeared due to a change in made in Breadcrumb NavXT 5.7.0. Additionally, the cause of PHP errors on group creation pages on the front end has been fixed.

As for the version number, yes, this did move from 0.1.1 to 1.0.2. Rather than maintain sub 1.x version numbers, I am standardizing on 1.0 as the first public release of my extension plugins.

Breadcrumb NavXT 5.7.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Holy Schema.org BreadcrumbList compliant JSON-LD breadcrumb trails Batman! Breadcrumb NavXT 5.7.0 introduces a new bcn_display_json_ld() function. Additionally, three bugs were fixed in this release.

The new bcn_display_json_ld() function outputs JSON-LD data that is Schema.org BreadcrumbList compliant. This helps facilitate the display of breadcrumbs in WordPress backed JavaScript applications. Additionally, the selected BreadcrumbList format is supported by Google.

On the bug fix front, the cause of PHP Errors when running the uninstaller from within WP CLI was fixed. Additionally, the cause of a PHP Warning in bcn_breadcrumb_trail::find_type() was resolved. Lastly, a typo in the settings page was fixed.

Looking Forward to 6.0.0

The next release of Breadcrumb NavXT will be 6.0.0. It is scheduled for mid-summer in celebration of 10 years of maintaining Breadcrumb NavXT (originally released as Breadcrumb Navigation XT). Be aware that 6.0.0 will drop the Max Title Length setting (already deprecated in favor of using CSS), along with the associated %ftitle% and %fhtitle% breadcrumb template tags.

Translations

As explained in the Breadcrumb NavXT Translations Moving to Language Packs article, Breadcrumb NavXT has moved away from shipping translations with the plugin. This is the first release to ship without any included translations, all translations are available via language packs, or from the Breadcrumb NavXT Translation Project.
