Update: This version has been pulled due to the identification of a critical bug for users running versions of Breadcrumb NavXT older than 7.0. An update (1.8.1) that fixes this issue will be released today.

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Paths 1.8.0. This version introduces a new filter, bcn_paths_tax_use_query_var which provides a method for controlling the query variables associated with a taxonomy. Also in this release is a fix to a bug in term to page mapping that resulted in a PHP error. Lastly, this version is the first to support Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0.

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).

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).

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Attributes 1.0.4. This version features two bug fixes.

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 2.1.0. New in this version is %DynamicTerm% menu item functionality. Additionally, improvements in Breadcrumb NavXT 6.4 support were made in this version.

The %DynamicTerm% Custom Menu Item

This new feature allows Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic to include the breadcrumbs for the term hiearchy normally associated with a post within the breadcrumb trail. Using this functionality requires adding a custom menu item to your menu. This menu item needs to have the Navigation Label set to %DynamicTerm%, and the URL should be set to #. Any posts (of any post type except the built-in page post type) placed under this custom menu item will now have the term hierarchy replace the custom menu item in their breadcrumb trails. Note that if the hierarchy for the post type in question is not a taxonomy (e.g. post parent, or date), the %DynamicTerm% menu item will be ignored.

Old Version Availability

Starting today, only the current release (e.g. 2.1.0) and the latest bug-fix of the prior release (2.0.1) will be available on the download list. All other releases are available upon request via opening a support ticket.

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).
