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).

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).

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).

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).

Foretold in a previous post, almost a year ago, premium extensions for Breadcrumb NavXT are in development. Today, the first three premium extensions are now available for purchase. These are: Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic, Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx, and Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions.

Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic

Breadcrumb NavXT Menu Magic allows the site administrator to select a WordPress Menu for Breadcrumb NavXT to follow for both titles and hierarchy for resources (posts, taxonomy terms, archives, etc). If the current item is not found in the menu, Breadcrumb NavXT will fall back to its default behavior.

Features

• Define breadcrumb trail hierarchy using a WordPress menu.
• Set alternate titles for breadcrumbs using a WordPress menu.
• Insert custom breadcrumbs into the breadcrumb trail using link elements within a WordPress menu.

Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx

Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx allows a custom title to be set for any post’s (as in any post type) breadcrumb. It features integration with All in One SEO Pack and WordPress SEO by Yoast. If none of the supported SEO plugins are activated on the current WordPress install, an “Alternate Title” meta box will be available on all post edit screens.

Features

• Supports replacing the breadcrumb title with All in One SEO Pack’s “SEO Title”
• Supports replacing the breadcrumb title WordPress SEO by Yoast’s “Breadcrumbs Title”
• Includes “Alternate Title” meta box for replacing the title if none of the supported SEO plugins are active

Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions

Breadcrumb NavXT WMPL Extensions improves Breadcrumb NavXT’s support for WPML Multilingual CMS. While Breadcrumb NavXT mostly works with WMPL Multilingual CMS, there are some deficiencies; see Breadcrumb NavXT and WPML Compatibility. With Breadcrumb NavXT WPML Extensions, string based settings within Breadcrumb NavXT and Custom Post Type root pages are translatable within WPML Multilingual CMS.

Features

• Automatically links to the correct Custom Post Type “root page” for the current language
• Makes Breadcrumb NavXT settings that are strings available for translation via WPML String Translation
• Improves Breadcrumb NavXT widget’s WPML compatibility
