This is the first maintained release for the Breadcrumb NavXT 3.0 branch. UTF-8 support has been improved for users of the administrative interface. Previously, UTF-8 characters saved in any of the fields of the administrative interface did not save correctly, this has been resolved. A bug related to attachments to pages was fixed, as well as a fix for the installation script of the administrative interface. Users that previously had issues with the administrative interface not containing default settings should remove the bcn_options entry in WordPress’ options table before activating this version. Finally, the behavior of the plugin was modified for users of static front pages that do not specify a Posts Page (under Settings > Reading). The new behavior is to drop the blog breadcrumb if Posts Page is not set, while before it was assumed Posts Page was set.
You can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page.

Hi mtekk!
Today i have test to update at release 3.0.1 but i have still problem of 3.0.0.
See here for mayor info: http://mtekk.weblogs.us/archives/announcements/breadcrumb-navxt-30/
Actually i continue to use rel 2.1.4 :)
DarkWolf,
You need to delete the contents of bcn_version and remove the bcn_options entry from the wp_options table. Then reactivate the plugin, that should cause the install script to run correctly.

Thanks mtekk!
Now with last svn all works fine :)
DarkWolf,
Glad to hear it finally works, I guess it helps when I’m thinking straight and give the correct instructions :D

Hello,
Breadcrumb NavXT does not work with Polyglot anymore. I don’t know if this came up with 3.0.1 or already earlier. What I did is integrating Polyglot code like [lang_de] into the settings of Breacrumb. This did not appear on the website – it was poperly translated to what it should look like. It does not work anymore, see here: http://www.sebald.com/2008/10/26/bilder-oktober

Martin,
I never thought someone would input ployglot prefixes or suffixes. Starting in 3.0.0, when things were rewritten, WordPress filters are extensively used, hence all WordPress generated titles within it should work correctly (anything that is not a prefix or suffix). However, text in the prefixes and suffixes never get filtered at the moment. Previously, a function that is part of the Polyglot plugin was called at the end, just before output of the breadcrumb trail. That made everything work swimmingly well, but for ever Polyglot like plugin I had to add an additional function check and call. The new method is cleaner, but I’ll have to dig into this a bit to work out some filters for the prefixes and suffixes. A fix will get to SVN sometime this week.

Hello John,
thank you for your quick response and most of all that you want to get rid of this issue.
Yes, I use Polyglot and I also use the features of Polyglot in Breadcrumb because otherwise it won’t be multilanguage in the Breadcrumb bar.
I’m looking forward for this fix but I will install this not before the next final is out and I get notified about this. ;-)
Thank you, regards,
Martin
I see you’ve been qtranslate compatible since v2.01 or so. Your plugin seemed to be working fine for me on the Pages side of things, but for Categories and Posts, I’m having problems. It works for the current category that is being display, but parent categories don’t appear properly (in some cases, they actually do, but I can’t figure out why and if I change any of the category info they don’t work from then on).
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Gregg,
What exactly is the problem/what isn’t working correctly (is it the category title or prefixes/suffixes)? I know that prefixes, parts of anchors (e.g. the alt text), and suffixes do not get run through filters right now and thus will not work with Ployglot or QTranslate shortcode. The main titles of pages for everything are run through filters and thus Ployglot shortcode and QTranslate shortcode should work in post/page/category/tag titles. Since I do not use either of these plugins, or ones similar to them I have to rely on others for testing of these features so they very well could be broken as of 3.0.0. The category code does call the “get_category” filter, so it should work, though QTranslate may not call that filter.
