Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 and Premium Extensions

Over the past few weeks, various Breadcrumb NavXT extensions have been updated in preparation for Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0. Today, the last batch of extension updates are being released. The following extensions are now ready for Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0:

Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 is scheduled for release within the next two weeks. It is critical that any extension plugin in use is updated to a version compatible with Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 before updating Breadcrumb NavXT to 7.0. Due to extensive, under-the-hood changes to the admin interface for Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0, it is not compatible with older versions of the 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). Note that this release has a phased rollout. Currently, the release is available to half of the active licensed installs. Starting on 11/29 the release will be available to all active licensed installs. If you run into any issues, please open a support ticket.

Breadcrumb NavXT Paths 1.7.0

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Paths 1.7.0. This version introduces changes to how term archives to page mapping works.

Previously, when a term was mapped to a page, that page’s hierarchy would be used for the rest of the breadcrumb trail. In Breadcrumb NavXT Paths 1.7.0, a new behavior was introduced where the term’s hierarchy would be maintained and only individual breadcrumbs would be replaced with pages. Toggling between the old behavior and the new behavior is controlled through the “Term Archive to Page Mapping” setting in the Paths section of the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page.

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).
