You need to find where bcn_display() is called in your theme, then, you will need to replace <div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://schema.org/"> with <div class="breadcrumbs"> (and save your changes). After doing that, in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, you will want to replace all of the breadcrumb templates with something like <a title="%title%" href="%link%">%htitle%</a>.

You’re going to have to provide URLs to the pages with issues—the ones you’ve linked to already are not exhibiting any issues.

What do you mean by “post type page”, are you talking about a post that is of your custom post type (e.g. an instance of your CPT)? Or are you talking about something different? Displaying the “post type” in the breadcrumb trail can be accomplished two different ways. You can enable archives for that post type and change the setting in Breadcrumb NavXT to include the post type archive. Otherwise, you can set a root page for the post type, where you use a page (an instance of the page post type) akin to the “page for posts”.

For the taxonomy you created, where are you expecting to see it?

Custom post types and the ‘post’ post type can select the “hierarchy” in the post type settings under the “Post Types” tab in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page. You should see the available taxonomies for each post type. Set to the taxonomy you want to use and make sure to press the “Save Changes” button.

Out-of-the-box Breadcrumb NavXT does not use the WordPress menu system for titles or content structure represented in the breadcrumb trail. If you want to add this feature, you will need to write code extending Breadcrumb NavXT to use your menu structure (will likely need to extend the bcn_breadcrumb_trail class). If you don’t want to write your own code, the Menu Magic premium extension allows Breadcrumb NavXT to use a specified menu for breadcrumb trail structure and breadcrumb titles.

Looking at the linked site, and the breadcrumb markup on the offending breadcrumb trail. I’m not sure you’re actually using Breadcrumb NavXT for that breadcrumb trail. The markup generated isn’t something that Breadcrumb NavXT will do out of the box (so either there’s extra code extending Breadcrumb NavXT, or it’s not Breadcrumb NavXT). That said, since it appears you’re embedding the JSON-LD version of BreadcrumbList in your site’s header, you may be better off just removing the Schema.org markup for the non-JSON-LD breadcrumb trail.

If your current item is not linked, it will not show up in the BreadcrumbList. Schema.org BreadcrumbList is only applicable if there is link. If you try to add the Schema.org markup without the link, Google’s tool will complain. Hence, in the default settings, Breadcrumb NavXT does not include Schema.org markup for unlinked breadcrumbs.

What capability are you thinking of using instead of manage_options? As far as I am aware, the manage_options capability is the most appropriate one for dealing with options/settings pages. The plugin is not designed to allow 2nd or 3rd party code to change the capability required to manage the options/settings. So, unfortunately, there really is not a way to change the capability from manage_options unless you modify Breadcrumb NavXT’s files (which I strongly advise against).

@turkeysforlife the code @genweb can’t be added to your theme’s functions.php, it needs to go into your main theme files where bcn_display() was called before. The HTML element that wraps the call to Breadcrumb NavXT needs to have the Schema.org BreadcrumbList format identifiers and not the old data-vocabulary.org identifiers as you had before. This will likely require modifying one or more of your theme’s files.
