This is due to the way Breadcrumb NavXT handles the situation when a post (instance of some post type) is a member of multiple term hierarchies for the taxonomy selected for that post type’s hierarchy. Since WordPress itself does not specify (or even have the concept of) a preferred term, Breadcrumb NavXT picks the first term, from the list WordPress provides, that has a parent. There is a way to control this behavior via the bcn_pick_post_term filter. There are plugins that provide interfaces in the post editor to facilitate this. For example, the Order Bender plugin (see https://github.com/mtekk/Order-Bender) provides a metabox in the post editor that allows you to set a preferred term. Breadcrumb NavXT Paths is another option (a premium plugin), which contains more features than Order Bender.

Assuming the title for both the category and page for the category is the same, using the bcn_breadcrumb_url filter, you can change the URL in the breadcrumb trail to link to the page instead of the category archive. This will require some custom code to achieve (could map based on the title, or add a metabox for the term editor and map using term_meta). If you don’t want to write any code to do this, the Breadcrumb NavXT Paths extension provides a metabox in the term editor for mapping terms to pages in Breadcrumb NavXT.

It looks like your site is missing the built-in administrator role. While that config is not recommended, it has been fixed in the master branch on GitHub and will make the next release. For reference, this was tracked in the following GitHub issue: https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/243

The Breadcrumb NavXT widget is a WordPress Widget that is available under Appearance > Widgets in your WordPress admin area. Regarding WooCommerce compatibility (it is fully compatible, functionality depends on Breadcrumb NavXT settings), please see this article: https://mtekk.us/archives/wordpress/plugins-wordpress/breadcrumb-navxt-and-woocommerce-compatibility-tips/

I don’t really recommend doing this, but it is possible. You can remove breadcrumbs as you please using the bcn_after_fill action, you will need to remove the ones you don’t want from the breadcrumbs member array of the bcn_breadcrumb_trail object passed into the action.

The best thing to do is to search the .php files in the theme for bcn_display. If that isn’t found in the theme, the breadcrumb trail is likely not by Breadcrumb NavXT.

Yes it is possible, but how it is accomplished depends on how you are calling the breadcrumb trail. For must users, that are using the bcn_display() function, if it is located in a file that is used in all theme files (e.g. something like in your theme’s header.php), then you can surround the call with a check for the appropriate conditional check.

<?php if(function_exists('bcn_display') && (is_singular('foo') || is_tax('flavor'))):?>
<div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://schema.org/">
<?php bcn_display();?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Where foo is the post type you care about and flavor is the taxonomy you care about. You can chain additional conditional tags by ORing them to the existing conditional check.

It is possible to use an alternate title for breadcrumbs. However, the way you’re trying to do it won’t work (%permalink%is not a valid Breadcrumb NavXT breadcrumb template tag). You will need to hook into thebcn_breadcrumb_title filter and replace the long title with a shorter one. If you don’t want to write the code yourself, the Title Trixx premium extension provides an interface within the post and term editors to accomplish this.
