Thanks for reporting this. I am tracking this in the following GitHub issue https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/248 and will have this fixed in the next release (7.0).

You really should not have “Blog” as a category. If it is not the frontpage of your site, then it should be a page and should be specified as the “Posts page” under Settings > Reading in the WordPress admin area. After that has been done, if you do not want a hierarchy leading to posts, in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, go to the “Post Types” tab. In that tab, uncheck the “Post Hierarchy Display” setting, and then press the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

In my response, I am making an assumption that in your last paragraph you are referring to assigning a post to a category/multiple subcategories when you said “I select”. If this is not correct, please let me know.

Since the Category taxonomy is a hierarchical taxonomy, and Breadcrumb NavXT displays the resource hierarchy leading to a page, only one hierarchy will be displayed even if there are multiple valid hierarchies. So, using your example, a post that is a member of sub-cat a, sub-cat b, and sub-cat c, Breadcrumb NavXT will only select one of these hierarchies (you will see either Category A > sub-cat a > POSTNAME, Category A > sub-cat b > POSTNAME, or Category A > sub-cat c > POSTNAME). As to which sub-cat this is picked, by default, this is based on the order WordPress returns the terms, however, this can be overridden by the bcn_pick_post_term filter.

Breadcrumb NavXT doesn’t automatically output a breadcrumb trail upon being activated. It’s likely a feature of the theme you are using that is automatically adding the breadcrumb trail. You’ll need to check with your theme author/developer on how to not automatically display the breadcrumb trail.

The $allowed_html variable is an array, each key is for an HTML tag. So, you can use any method you like to add more keys. A simple way is to add more $allowed_html['KEY'] = array(); assignments.

For example, the following should do what you want:

function my_bcn_allowed_html($allowed_html)
{
	$allowed_html['svg'] = array(
		'width' => true,
		'height' => true,
		'viewbox' => true,
		'version' => true,
		'xmlns' => true,
		'xmlns:xlink' => true
	);
	$allowed_html['g'] = array(
		'stroke' => true,
		'stroke-width' => true,
		'fill' => true,
		'fill-rule' => true,
		'transform' => true
	);
	$allowed_html['path'] = array(
		'fill' => true,
		'd' => true,
		'fill-rule' => true
	);
	$allowed_html['polygon'] = array(
		'points' => true
	);
	return $allowed_html;
}
add_filter('bcn_allowed_html', 'my_bcn_allowed_html');

So, Paths probably isn’t going to do what you want since you’re not using the product post type pages and instead using the page post type. For Breadcrumb NavXT to pick up on the hierarchy, it has to actually exist for the given resource (post, archive etc). Paths isn’t going to magically resolve things here. And, by using the page post type, you’re creating more problems as Breadcrumb NavXT treats that post type differently than all others (it can be the root of other post types, and can only use the ‘post parent’ hierarchy in the breadcrumb trail).

You’re really creating more work for yourself by using the product short code and recreating every product in a page. Is the something you’re having an issue doing when using the WooCommerce product post type?

If you are trying to create a multilingual site, I strongly encourage you to use a plugin such as Polylang or WPML to assist you. These plugins, for the most part, will handle this link translation (they just don’t cover translating the breadcrumb templates or the root pages for custom post types, which is implemented in a helper plugin (premium) for each of those multilingual plugins)

Otherwise, you can always use the bcn_breadcrumb_url filter to modify the URL for any breadcrumb in the breadcrumb trail.
