My answers, if this also helps:

What version did you upgrade from?
5.7.1 (missed 6.0.0)

Did you run the “migrate now” action for the settings?
Yes.

Did it work before running “migrate now”?
Unfortunately, I didn’t check this. I went straight to the settings page after upgrading and clicked migrate, since I recall that was something that needed to be done in previous releases.

Did you modify any of your settings and press “Save Changes” since updating?
I think so, but not 100% sure. I was pretty sure that the “Breadcrumb Separator” value I had been using before was “»” (the html entity code for the double right bracket), but after migrating, it got changed to just show the native character “?” instead. I tried changing it back to the html entity, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore (it keeps getting changed back to “?”). Though oddly, all the other setting boxes I have edited on other tabs do retain the “raquo” code values. But that did involve a save operation. Also, I think I may have un-checked the “Post Hierarchy Display” box on the Post Types tab, but not sure on that.

Hope this helps.

I edited the option table value, and everything is back to normal on the live site. Thanks so much for your quick response and suggestions! For the record, what I did was edit the WordPress options table row “bcn_options”, and changed:

s:25:”Spost_page_hierarchy_type”;s:0:””;

to

s:25:”Spost_page_hierarchy_type”;s:15:”BCN_POST_PARENT”;

Thanks again!

OK, so on the live site, the “BCN_POST_PARENT” value is missing (the “Spost_page_hierarchy_type” setting is there, but value is blank). The “bpost_page_hierarchy_display” value is 1 on both.

Should I try editing the “BCN_POST_PARENT” value back in manually via phpAdmin (in the “bcn_options” row in the WordPress option table, I assume)? Or could that have unanticipated consequences?

Yes, it worked as expected with the previous version. I can’t think of anything else that may have changed. Very strange.
