   check that your license for updates and support is active/unexpired (if it had

 * Breadcrumb NavXT’s output is highly customizable, while the default output may
   not match said directives, it can be made to do so. Regarding outputting in `
   li` elements, you can use `bcn_display_list()` function rather than `bcn_display()`(
   some have changed the breadcrumb templates on the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page
   to use `li` elements and had success, but I don’t recommend that). If using the
   Breadcrumb Trail block, change the output trail format to “Ordered list elements”.
   
   For the separator, you can add a wrapper tag with `aria-hidden="true"` in it,
   if you so desire (it should be an allowed attribute for the span tag and usable
   in the separator setting). That said, `bcn_display_list()` and the “Ordered list
   elements” Breadcrumb Trail block output modes do not include a separator, so 
   this isn’t necessary in that case (you’ll have to add the separator using CSS).

 * It is likely you are registering the custom taxonomy too late for Breadcrumb 
   NavXT to properly setup default settings for said taxonomy. If you visit the 
   Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, you likely will get a warning at the top of the
   page regarding the taxonomy being registered too late (after the 9000 level of`
   init`, which is quite late). The recommendation is to register the taxonomy earlier(
   can still use `init`, but it needs to be at some level of value less than 9000).

 * The most likely cause for this is a broken translation. I just checked all of
   the English locales on the .org translation project for the [“search results for”](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/stable/en-gb/default/?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=580751&sort%5Bby%5D=translation_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=asc)
   string and I’m seeing an error there. So, it’s likely the translation is specific
   to the site. I would check to see if the multi-language plugin for the site is
   managing the “search results for” translation and resulting in the extra ‘r’ 
   showing up.

 * The posts page display within the breadcrumb trail is controlled by the “Blog
   Breadcrumb” setting on the “General” tab in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page.
   Note that this setting is only available when both a post page and a homepage
   are set under Settings > Reading.

 * This issue has been fixed in the development branch for the next release (7.5),
   see: [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321)
   As for timing of the next release, I’m currently working the prep for the 7.5
   release (and have one last recent bug report to sort out) and hope to release
   within a couple of weeks.

 * Just double checking, what version of Breadcrumb NavXT are you using (for both
   the export and the import). Back in 7.3 a similar issue was fixed (see [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/289](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/289)),
   so depending on the version you are using, it may already have been fixed or 
   was missed somehow in those changes. None-the-less, I’ll see if I can reproduce
   this specific case in my testbed.

 * I’m not seeing a breadcrumb trail generated by Breadcrumb NavXT on that page.
   There is a breadcrumb trail just above the footer but the markup doesn’t look
   like something Breadcrumb NavXT would generate without extensive changes to the
   default settings. I’d double check that Breadcrumb NavXT is actually getting 
   called (the elementor widget probably isn’t calling Breadcrumb NavXT, you should
   use the Breadcrumb NavXT widget, or the Breadcrumb Trail block provided by Breadcrumb
   NavXT).

 * You can use the `[bcn_breadcrumb_title](https://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb-navxt-doc/2/#bcn_breadcrumb_title)`
   filter to change what Breadcrumb NavXT uses for a page/post. If you don’t want
   to write code to do this, there are plugins that provide GUI elements for allow
   you to use a title in the breadcrumb trail that is different than the post/page
   title.

 * The uninstaller issue is currently being worked (and tracked in this github issue:
   [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321)).
   Based on the unit tests it should be fixed on the github branch that will be 
   7.5, but I still need to run some additional integration tests to ensure it works.
 * As for the settings page link, what link is being provided that results in a 
   404 error? The settings page should not be resulting in a 404 (is not on any 
   of my installs or testbed). Do you have access to your server logs, is there 
   anything showing up in them when you try to access the Breadcrumb NavXT settings
   page?

 * Others reported a similar issue here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deletion-failed-7/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deletion-failed-7/#post-18503218),
   so far in my investigation, I have a potential cause identified, but need to 
   verify that it’s the actual problem with some testbed testing (currently relying
   on unit tests failing to identify there’s an issue). I’m currently tracking this
   in the following github issue: [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321)
 * If you receive any PHP errors/warnings, either when the uninstall/delete fails,
   or in your server logs, I would be interested to see what they say (only care
   about files and directories within the plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/ directory).

 * Now that I have the unit tests for uninstalling “working” again (at least from
   a framework standpoint), I’m seeing a permission error which may be what’s happening
   on actual sites. I’m tracking this in the following github issue: [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321)

 * If you’re using a “classic” theme (editing .php files), you can place a call 
   to `bcn_display()` where you want the breadcrumb trail to display. See this article
   for some examples: [http://mtekk.us/archives/guides/calling-the-breadcrumb-trail/](http://mtekk.us/archives/guides/calling-the-breadcrumb-trail/)
   Note that to get bold text, you will need to deal with the styling in your theme’s
   style.css file.
 * If you’re using the Breadcrumb Trail block, you should be able to move that to
   wherever you want within the block theme editor. Currently, the Breadcrumb Trail
   block doesn’t support the advanced typography styling in the block editor (only
   supports text size), though, I suppose I should fix that for the next release.

 * I’m looking into this, I don’t know of an actual issue/identified cause of this
   right now. I’m starting with getting the unit tests for uninstall code working
   again (PHPUnit is a pain as the API changes way too often) and then, depending
   on what I learn from that I’ll move forward.
 * In the mean time, are there any PHP errors or warnings that are presented when
   trying to uninstall?
