BreadcrumbsPress 5.0 (Pro and Lite)

BreadcrumbsPress 5.0 is here, bringing new Elementor integration, improvements to security and reliability, and updates to the tools used to build the plugin.

Add breadcrumbs with Elementor

The biggest addition in this release is support for Elementor 4. You can now add a breadcrumb trail to an Elementor page or template using the new Breadcrumbs atomic widget and style it in Elementor. BreadcrumbsPress Pro also includes a Multi Breadcrumbs atomic widget. It lets you display multiple available paths to a post, giving visitors more than one way to navigate back through your site. The Elementor widgets require Elementor 4 or later with atomic widget functionality active.

Improvements and fixes

Version 5.0 includes a broad review of escaping and sanitization throughout the plugin, along with fixes for several potential issues. The release also addresses:

• Settings controls that could render incorrectly and options that were not always parsed or applied properly.
• The HTML wrapper used for unordered-list breadcrumb output.
• A potential issue with JSON-LD breadcrumb data.
• Potential cases where hidden or private posts could appear in trails.
• Minor styling issues.

Behind the scenes, the plugin’s build tooling and translation template generation have been replaced, unused files have been removed, and the shared Dev4Press Library has been updated to version 5.6.5.

Updated requirements

BreadcrumbsPress 5.0 requires PHP 8.1 or newer and WordPress 6.7 or newer. Check your hosting environment before updating. For help setting up breadcrumbs and choosing a placement method, visit the BreadcrumbsPress documentation.
