If you want to keep the resource in the breadcrumb trail, but just not have it linked, you can use the bcn_breadcrumb_linked filter. Using the passed in parameters to determine if the breadcrumb is for a resource you wish to not link, and returning false if you wish for the breadcrumb to be unlinked. The following article provides an example of how to do this: https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/remove-the-link-in-a-breadcrumb/

If you want to remove the resource from the breadcrumb trail, you will want to use the bcn_after_fill action, iterating over the passed in bcn_breadcrumb_trail object’s breadcrumbs array searching for the breadcrumb you want to remove, and removing it from the breadcrumbs array.

@improvedline Yeah, the bcn_template_tags filter isn’t what you want. In fact, using ACF may not be the correct way of doing this as well (unless it lets you set the term parent for a term to be of any term, of any taxonomy). Since 7.0, Breadcrumb NavXT supports type juggling for taxonomy terms, so you can just set the term_parent property for the term and Breadcrumb NavXT should follow it (setting Category A as the parent of Tag A.1 and Tag A.2 it should ‘just work’ if the tag taxonomy is set as the hierarchy for the post type in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page). You just have to establish that term parent hierarchy.

I can think of two thing that could result in this behavior.

The first is when you go to change the separator, the setting isn’t getting saved for some reason. If you open the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page in a new browser window or tab, if the setting is still at the default value, the it is likely the setting didn’t save (after pressing the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the screen you may have seen a message at the top of the screen claiming some changes weren’t saved).

The second, and the more likely cause, is the breadcrumb trail you are seeing isn’t actually being generated by Breadcrumb NavXT (or is being called in a way that does not support using the settings from the settings page). Examining the generated markup should show a particular pattern if Breadcrumb NavXT is actually generating the trail (you should see the result of the breadcrumb templates in the settings page).

So, there are a couple of ways you could do this, depending on what sort of interface you want. If you want to just add something in front of the title text, then the bcn_breadcrumb_title filter can be used and you can add something in front of the title as needed. The other option is creating a custom breadcrumb template tag using the bcn_template_tags filter and then you can place that tag in your breadcrumb templates where ever you want the extra text to show up.

What version of Breadcrumb NavXT are you using, and what version of WordPress did you upgrade from?

Assuming you’re using Breadcrumb NavXT 7.x (7.0.x or 7.1), it looks like you have a custom post type that isn’t registered properly (missing the name property, and several of the labels properties). As to why this is the case, and why moving the WordPress 6.0.1 presented the issue, I’m not exactly sure. I’m going to add checks in this code for the next release (tracking via the following GitHub issue https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/280). That said, it sounds like something else (assuming this is a custom post type causing it) is not obeying the WP API for post types, so you may have to do some troubleshooting to figure out what post type is causing the root problem (invalid entries in the wp_post_types global array, if you do a var_dump on that global and link to the output (since posting it directly in this thread will get messy) I can help identify what entries may be causing the issue).

This is possible. You just need to hook into the bcn_after_fill action and add the breadcrumb in. The following article provides an example of how to do this: https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/add-a-static-breadcrumb-to-the-breadcrumb-trail/

The desired breadcrumb trail result isn’t possible to achieve via the breadcrumb templates with the out of the box breadcrumb template tags. You could add a custom template tag to achieve this, but there are other and better ways by hooking into the bcn_breadcrumb_title filter. That said, the proposed breadcrumb structure doesn’t really the follow the rules of having a hierarchy (the current item should not be a combination of a child and parent, for terms the parent already has all of the child term’s posts in it in addition to all of the posts that are explicitly in the parent term).

@wortpressender38 For the expected ‘Home > countries > regions > cities > streets’, what is streets, cities, regions, and countries. Are these all terms within a hierarchical taxonomy? Are these posts of a hierarchical post type? Are they something else (is it a mix of a post and terms)? If these are all terms or posts, you must establish the parent -> child relationship within the posts/terms for Breadcrumb NavXT to know there is a hierarchy to follow (please note that establishing a hierarchy in a menu does not actually result in your content being organized that way).

If it is a mix of posts and terms, at the point that it switches from posts to terms, that post must be a member of the desired term (set in the post editor). Also, you may need to tell Breadcrumb NavXT to use the taxonomy type that the term is a member of for the post hierarchy for the post type that post is an instance of (this is set in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page).
