It looks like your site doesn’t have a title, which the default settings try to use. Check your “Home Template” and “Home Template (Unlinked)” settings for instances of %htitle% and %title%, replace these with what you want to show up in the breadcrumb trail for the home breadcrumb.

For clarification, there was a change made to Breadcrumb NavXT (available on the in the GitHub “master” branch, see https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/244) that fixes a behavior seen with the different post types (it’s a generic change so it is in the core plugin).

Additionally, in general, you will want to check that the following Breadcrumb NavXT settings are the following:
Forum Archive Display: checked
Forum Hierarchy Display: unchecked
Topic Archive Display: checked
Topic Hierarchy Display: checked
Topic Hierarchy: Post Parent
This should, agree with the recommendations in the bbPress compatibility article.

Search and user pages within bbPress do not use WordPress post types or taxonomies, so other, very bbPress specific code has to be used to support that. Much of that belongs in the Breadcrumb NavXT bbPress Extensions plugin. It looks like search was brought up a while ago, I just have never had time to implement it (see https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT-bbPress-Extensions/issues/3). I think I have things other than search and user pages working correctly again. It does require the bbPress Extensions plugin in conjunction with a couple of changes in Breadcrumb NavXT. The Breadcrumb NavXT changes will make the next release (feature or bugfix, whichever comes first).

That’s likely a bug in Google’s tool, it sometimes doesn’t like the current item to be linked. Traditionally, I’ve gone without a linked current item (and zero markup for it), but recently, the default unlinked templates added back the markup with a “new” way of introducing the link/@id property which seems to not have issues. Occasionally, Google’s tool can be thrown off by other rich markup that it either doesn’t understand, or if you are using multiple formats for implementing the rich markup (e.g. RDFa and microdata on the same page).

Unfortunately, the URL you used in the “Page I need help with” doesn’t seem to be working (just goes to the URL shortener’s page) so I can’t examine the HTML. My guess is that you may have partial markup for the category template or category template (unlinked) setting. Double check that they are the following:

Category Template:
<span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><a property="item" typeof="WebPage" title="Go to the %title% category archives." href="%link%" class="%type%" bcn-aria-current><span property="name">%htitle%</span></a><meta property="position" content="%position%"></span>

Category Template (Unlinked):
<span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><span property="name" class="%type%">%htitle%</span><meta property="url" content="%link%"><meta property="position" content="%position%"></span>

It sounds like you are calling bcn_display within the loop. When you do this, you will want to set the fourth parameter to true. That is, try using the following call: bcn_display(false true, false, true)

Setting the fourth parameter to true tells Breadcrumb NavXT to re-generate the breadcrumb trail for that call of bcn_display. By default, the breadcrumb trail is cached, which explains the behavior you’re seeing. For more information on using bcn_display see it’s entry in the Breadcrumb NavXT documentation: https://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb-navxt-doc/#Usingbcn_displayandbcn_display_list

A change was made in 6.5 to use a custom capability for the settings page rather than the built-in manage_options. To ensue a seamless transition for most users, the administrator role is automatically given this permission. However, if you don’t have an administrator role (which is very different from a user named administrator), you are going to have problems. It appears that adminKit doesn’t check that it has a instance of WP_Role, so that will change for the next release (6.5.1). That said, if you don’t have an administrator role, you will need to give one of the roles the bcn_manage_options capability, otherwise you will not be able to edit the settings. Is there a reason that you’ve removed the administrator role?
