You’ll need to clarify what you mean by a dropdown/hover on the breadcrumbs. Specifically, what are you expecting to see in the dropdown? If you’re talking about something like what Windows Vista/7/10 does in explorer, then there is a guide on what you need markup and CSS wise to achieve this: https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/vista-like-breadcrumbs-for-wordpress/

Breadcrumb NavXT picks up on the actual organization of content on the site. So, to have categories show up in a hierarchical fashion, a child category needs to have the parent category set as its parent.

Is there a reason you don’t want nested categories in the URL?

So, Breadcrumb NavXT uses the get_home_url() function for generating the link to the home page. If you want this to link to something else, you should probably get that function to return the URL you want. Another, Breadcrumb NavXT specific, option is to use the bcn_breadcrumb_url filter to modify the URL for the home breadcrumb. This all said, for most circumstances, I would recommend against having your home page for a site not be the root page for said URL (e.g. the home page should be domainname/ not domainname/home, where domainname is your site’s domain name).

This depends on how Perfect Brands works, if it affects the output of the get_the_title() function, then it may just work. If Perfect Brands doesn’t affect the output of get_the_title(), then you may need to write a little bit of code to hook into the bcn_breadcrumb_title filter and add the brand in as required.

If Asgaros uses CPTs and custom taxonomies, things may work to some degree. Going off of how bbPress works (as I have not used Asgaros), getting the breadcrumb trail to reflect how forums/topics are organized may require custom code (for bbPress there is extension to Breadcrumb NavXT that enhances bbPress support).

This is WordFence being overly restrictive (it is not allowing the settings to contain HTML). It should be safe to relax whatever rule is getting triggered.

How are you calling the breadcrumb trail? It sounds like you may be using a ul or ol element to wrap the breadcrumb trail call but not using the bcn_display_list() (or haven’t gone through the tedious work of changing all the templates to use li elements).

Regarding “it caused major issues when I installed it and I immediately got notifications from WP to deactivate and uninstall” can you expand on what you mean by “major issues” and “notifications from WP to deactivate and uninstall”? Was there a PHP error/warning message? I ask as there are not any known issues with Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0.2 that would result in a behavior as you described (the only known issue is due to other plugins adding CPTs or taxonomies too late, this only appears on the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, and a change in behavior in 7.1 will present the user a nicer message).

As for the breadcrumb structure, Breadcrumb NavXT uses the actual organization of the content on your site. That is, it depends on the parent relationships of posts (of any post type) and terms (assuming you select a hierarchical term for the hierarchy for a post (of any post type)). If your permalink structure reflect the actual hierarchy of your posts/content, the Breadcrumb NavXT will reflect that. If you have to manually create the breadcrumb trail on a per page basis, it is likely that you are not organizing your content within WordPress properly (the point of a CMS is to logically organize your content so that much of the navigation/presentation of content is done in a programmatically deterministic/automated way with minimal manual intervention).
