Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions 1.1.0

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions 1.1.0. This version switches to the WPML 3.2+ API for translating strings. Backwards compatibility with WPML 3.1 (and older) is maintained. However, users of other plugins (Polylang) that provide emulations of the WPML API may no longer work. Speaking of which, Polylang will get its own extension in early 2016. Additionally, a bug that prevented updated setting strings from Breadcrumb NavXT from showing up in the string translation screen on non-multisite installs in a timely matter.

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).

Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 1.1.0

Announcing the immediate availability of Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic 1.1.0. New to this version is support for UberMenu’s Dynamic Posts and Dynamic Terms. If a post is in, or is a decedent of a post in, the Dynamic Post menu listing, that structure is reflected in the breadcrumb trail. Likewise, if a post is a member of a term that is represented in the Dynamic Term menu listing, that structure is reflected in the breadcrumb trail.

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).

Update 2 to Breadcrumb NavXT Premium Extensions

The current three premium extensions to Breadcrumb NavXT, Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic, and Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx, have received their second minor update today. In the previous release there was a bug where license activation via the “activate license” button could cause some settings in Breadcrumb NavXT to be unintentionally modified. Additionally, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic has been updated to better support Breadcrumb NavXT 5.2 and 5.3.

The defect caused some HTML tags to be stripped from Breadcrumb NavXT settings fields that accepted HTML. This has been corrected in the latest release of Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic, and Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx.

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).

Update 1 to Breadcrumb NavXT Premium Extensions

The current three premium extensions to Breadcrumb NavXT, Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic, and Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx, have received their first update. In the initial release there was a deficiency in the user interface for activating the license key for receiving plugin updates.

The defect forced users to enter their license key, then save the settings, and then activate the license key. Any deviations caused the license to not activate. This has been corrected in the latest release of Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions, Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic, and Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx.

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).
