By popular demand, Order Bender has received a substantial update. Now, rather than just working with categories, it will work with any hierarchical taxonomy on any post type (that is uses the taxonomy). Thus, now it is possible to specify a preferred custom taxonomy term for any post type for Breadcrumb NavXT.
Eventually, this will make it into the official WordPress.org plugin repository so everyone will get update notifications. Until then, you’ll have to manually update (by first deleting and then re-installing).
Installation is quite easy:
- Download the Master branch zip archive from GitHub
- In your WordPress Dashboard navigate to the plugin uploader (Plugins > Add New > Upload)
- Upload the zip archive
- Activate and enjoy!
You can keep up with day to day development via the Order Bender’s GitHub Repository.

Thank you very much John for your excellent plugin.
I have tried to accomplish this functionality for days. It works exactly as I want with my single-{category} templates – enabling selective breadcrumb navigation when a post has multiple parent categories appended to it.
At the moment I only use the plugin for categories. I have numerous custom taxonomies but no need for all the meta boxes created by the plugin. Would you advice me to use an older version of the plugin to enable the Order Bender strictly for categories?
Hi John,
great plugin! I have two problems:
1.: The plugin does not show all categories. The newer ones (added after installation of the plugin) are not shown at all.
2.: Hierarchical categories (news/subcategorie) are not shown inside the Dropdown-Menu.
Can you please help me?
Thanks and best regards
Jo
For #2, that has been fixed in version 0.5.1, which should be up on GitHub now. As for the first, any category added from within the page won’t automatically show up on this list until the page is reloaded.
