Ok, here it is, Bread Crumb Trail. Unlike Bread Crumb Trail Light this plugin is PHAT. Ok what I mean is this is feature packed and should work fine in any situation that I have thought of.

Q&A
- What?
- I’ll answer your questions here.
- Permalinks
- For viewing archives with BCT support you must use the uri rewriting permalinks function, this is actually a function of apache and not WP. WP just generates the htaccess file.
- Not showing ‘home’ when on the homepage.
- You need to set showhome to FALSE. Showhome is the second variable when calling the function, so you must also set root. the result should look something like;
<?php jp_bct('/',FALSE); ?>. Of you may create a new file named ‘jp-bct.ini’ and locate it as such ‘wp-content/jp-bct/jp-bct.ini’. Then add the line showhome = FALSE. - Some of the links in your bct are broken.
- Make sure your permalink structure works, you should be able to visit for example http://jp.jixor.com/archives/category/ and it should work, just displaying posts from all categories. This is the default behaviors, however this may be a relatively recent addition, if you have an old install you may need to update your permalinks rewrite rules, see the permalinks section, it generates the .htaccess file for you.
Current version is 1.1 For the most up to date version see http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/jp-bread-crumb-trail/trunk/jp-bct.php
Note You currently require at least PHP version 4.3.0. I could resolve this dependancy but seriously you should upgrade to at least 4.3.0.
Next version I’ll add an admin interface for setting options, this will however be optional. If you don’t use it the code will be a little more efficient, but not by much. I may also look into ways of including your bct using hooks.
