Automates the generation of multidimensional list breadcrumb trails with Breadcrumb NavXT.
In the Vista-Like Breadcrumbs for WordPress guide, code was presented for recreating the breadcrumb style featured in Windows Vista and Windows 7. That code eventually was updated and placed into a plugin to ease implementation. This is that plugin.
Breadcrumb NavXT Versions Supported
This plugin supports Breadcrumb NavXT 5.1+, and Breadcrumb NavXT 6.0+. Note that not all features are available on older Breadcrumb NavXT versions.
