Breadcrumb NavXT 7.5.0

Holy incremental improvements Batman! This first feature release of 2025 introduces several bug fixes, changes a few internal behaviors, and removes the deprecated bcn_breadcrumb_trail::title_trim function. On the feature front, the block added support for the text align attribute.

On the back end, bcn_breadcrumb_trail::post_hierarchy was refactored to use WP_Post instead of the old parameter set (id, type, and parent id). This brings this function in line with much of the rest of bcn_breadcrumb_trail member functions. Note that this breaks compatibility with some extension plugins, updates should already be available, and make sure to update the extension plugins before updating Breadcrumb NavXT.

On the bug fix front, this version fixed an issue in the uninstaller that resulted in PHP errors that caused uninstallation to fail. Additionally, three bugs in the Breadcrumb Trail Block were fixed: the “Hide on Home” option now works as intended, a typo that caused a console warning when inserting the block, and the selector for the block specified in block.json now matches the selector for the block. A bug in the settings exporter that resulted in most settings not being exported was fixed. Lastly, a bug in the settings importer where boolean settings could not be set false through the importer.

Lastly, in alignment with the deprecation schedule for the title_trim function outlined back in 2021, bcn_breadcrumb::title_trim has been removed in this release. title_trim had spent the past several releases not only deprecated, but also orphaned (the core plugin did not call title_trim).
