Breadcrumb NavXT 7.4.0

Holy incremental improvements Batman! This second feature release of 2024 introduces the bcn_admin_post_root_args filter. This filter adds the ability to modify the arguments passed into wp_dropdown_pages() for the root page selection for the posts in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page.

On the bugfix front, the cause of the “Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly” notice in WordPress 6.7 was fixed. Additionally, two bugs relating to breadcrumb trail generation on the home page when in the loop and when using the Breadcrumb Trail block in the block theme editor. Speaking of the Breadcrumb Trail block, two typos in two of the strings in the Breadcrumb Trail block were fixed. Lastly, bcn_breadcrumb_trail::post_hierarchy() was improved to be more resilient to unexpected returns from get_post().

Lastly, as a final reminder, in the next release of Breadcrumb NavXT (7.5.0) the bcn_breadcrumb::title_trim function will be removed. This is in alignment with the deprecation schedule for the title_trim function outlined back in 2021.

  1. Hello,
    We were using your plugin for some time.
    We’re rebuilding our website to wordpress, using Elementor Pro.
    During the Holidays something happened and now there is no breadcrumbs on any of the pages. I saw you had an update on Dec 30.
    Could that be affecting the compatibility with Elementor?
    It is simply not there now, although the plugin is installed and active.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    The website listed below is the current site, that is not using your plugin. We use the plugin under DEV, so it is not visible live yet. But the breadcrumbs just disappeared.

    • Hi Stefan,

      There is a known issue in 7.4.0 with the legacy widget not being available. This affects anyone using Elementor and anyone else still using legacy widgets (WordPress moved on to using blocks as widgets now). The cause of this issue was a change made for WordPress 6.7 support which resulted in the legacy widget registration happen too late. This has been fixed in the github master branch for the plugin and 7.4.1 will contain this fix.
