A shortcode would be so that you could place it in a post body, not necessarily the place you want to put it. The widget is a recent addition to the plugin, there still are the bcn_display and bcn_display_list functions that can be called just about anywhere in a template.

Ok, thanks!
I asked because I am using Weaver theme, and wanted to place breadcrumb after header and the only place for that was in post-header code.
Got around that by creating a custom widget area in post header code (actually I am using Weaver Plus theme) and placing the NavXT widget there. It wasn’t smooth because the only place to create a new widget area is “per page widget” which tries to place it above the content area (as opposed to full-width post-header. I tinkered with some CSS for the per page widgets and it seems to work as desired now.
