Can Breadcrumb NavXT do The Following?

  • Here is the list of things that I wish to achieve. Can you please tell me if it can be done with Breadcrumb NavXT and what extensions I need, if any:

    • Insert custom steps anywhere in the path (<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Home</span> > <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Blog</span> > Custom Text > Author)
    • Customize the current (last in the path) item’s name (I’m guessing that I need Title Trixx extension for this)
    • Select the starting point for hierarchical taxonomies (<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Home</span> > <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Blog</span> > <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Category 2</span> > <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Category 3</span> > Post – here, the starting point is not Category 1 but Category 2)
    • Turn off breadcrumbs from showing on for specific items, like pages, tag archive pages, or 404 page.

    Adding custom breadcrumbs to the breadcrumb trail can be achieved using the bcn_after_fill action. Or, using the Menu Magic extension plugin (premium).

    Changing the title that is used in the breadcrumb trail can be accomplished using the bcn_breadcrumb_title filter, or Title Trixx (uses term/post meta boxes) or Menu Magic (uses menu entry titles) extension plugins.

    For the hidden category thing, if you want to always exclude category 1, you can either remove it using bcn_after_fill, use a custom taxonomy instead for category 1 (hidden categories typically mean you want something extra to organize by but don’t want to show which usually is better suited for a custom taxonomy but not always), or if you leave it out of the hierarchy in menu for Menu Magic, it should be left out of the trail. That said, if you have many categories you wish to do this with, the menu you will have to setup may be a bit cumbersome.

    Lastly, normally, for pages, tag archives, 404 pages, etc where you don’t want the breadcrumb trail appear you’d use theme templates to control that (general philosophy is where and when the breadcrumb trail is displayed is the role of the theme, what the breadcrumb trail displays is the role of the plugin)
