 * Hi there,
 * Ever since upgrading to the current version of WordPress and to PHP 8.1, I have
   been unable to make changes to the plugin settings and then save them. Each time
   this is attempted, the site throws an internal server error.
 * Regrettably, turning on DEBUG in wp-config.php does not catch anything. I also
   checked the PHP.LOG and there is nothing referring to this plugin.
 * It’s most puzzling. I don’t know what else to do.
 * Is it possible make changes to the plugin settings directly on phpmyadmin?

 * Normally, internal server errors or access denied errors are caused by ModSecurity,
   please double check that it wasn’t getting tripped up (likely didn’t like a value
   being saved in one of the breadcrumb templates). I’m not aware of any PHP8/8.1
   issues in Breadcrumb NavXT (I’m running PHP8.1 on my testbed right now and I 
   am not seeing this issue).

 * Thanks very much. Turning off Mod Security allowed me to save changes to the 
   plugin settings.
