How to display slug as breadcrumb text?

You can write hook into the bcn_breadcrumb_title filter that replaces the passed in title with the appropriate slug to accomplish this. A possibly easier, and more flexible solution would be to use Breadcrumb NavXT Title Trixx (an extension to Breadcrumb NavXT) which allows you manually specify a custom title for any post or taxonomy term. It also has a feature for “importing” slugs as the breadcrumb title for posts.

Thanks for your reply. Could you give an example of the actual code for the hook?

Also, would I need to modify the plugin file(s) or only edit my functions.php?

This is something you would place in a site specific plugin. You should never modify the files shipped with a plugin since your changes will be overwritten when the plugin is updates. I also recommend against using a functions.php since the functionality may still be desired when/if you change themes, additionally, theme updates will overwrite your changes.

Something like the following should get you started with your filter (will require modification to work):

add_filter('bcn_breadcrumb_title', 'my_breadcrumb_title_filter', 11, 3);
function my_breadcrumb_title_filter($title, $type, $id)
{
if(is_single())
{
//Update title with whatever you want here, use the $type array entities and $id to help you
}
return $title;
}
