Readme Before Updating to 5.0.0

After upgrading to 5.0.0, I did reactivate Breadcrumb NavXT, but the plugin stopped working for me. I even deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. I am using a child theme of “Platform” Version: 1.4.3 [1]. Granted, this is an old theme which has been deprecated by the developer, so I don’t expect Breadcrumb NavXT to support it. But, since I did have this problem, I will be staying with version 4.4.0.

[1] Platform is by https://www.pagelines.com/

Do you know how the theme is calling Breadcrumb NavXT? Look for a bcn_display() function call. Additionally, it may be possible that the theme looks for bcn_breadcrumb_admin.php / the associated class to exist rather than bcn_display(). A quick mod of that code could make the theme compatible with 5.0. Let me know what you find.

Here’s the code, which does call bcn_display(); I’m not sure why it failed. No, it doesn’t look for bcn_breadcrumb_admin.php.


function section_template() {
?>
<div class="breadcrumb subtext">
<?php
if(function_exists('bcn_display')){
if(pagelines_option('breadcrumb_no_link')){
//Make new breadcrumb object
$breadcrumb_trail = new bcn_breadcrumb_trail;
//Setup options here if needed
//Fill the breadcrumb trail
$breadcrumb_trail->fill();
//Display the trail, but don't link the breadcrumbs
bcn_display(false,false);
}else{
bcn_display();
}
}else{
echo '<p style=text-align:center;>';
_e('Please activate the Breadcrumb-NavXT plug-in to use the section.', 'pagelines');
echo '</p>';
}

?>
</div>
<?php
}

The lines

//Make new breadcrumb object
$breadcrumb_trail = new bcn_breadcrumb_trail;
//Setup options here if needed
//Fill the breadcrumb trail
$breadcrumb_trail->fill();

should not be necessary if you are calling bcn_display() as they are evoked automatically by it.
