Breadcrumb NavXT doesn’t pick anything at random. For CPTs, once Breadcrumb NavXT has seen a new CPT, it will try to automatically pick an appropriate hierarchy for it (post parent for hierarchical CPTs, the first valid taxonomy for flat CPTs). Then within a taxonomy (for hierarchical taxonomies), if a post is a member of multiple terms it will pick the first taxonomy term that has a parent (part of a taxonomy hierarchy). If it gets to the last term and still hasn’t found a term parent, it will pick that one. For flat taxonomies, it will output all member terms. Knowing this, here’s a breakdown of the possibilities:
What you can do:
- Specify a taxonomy/hierarchy for all posts of a specific type
What you can do with help from Order Bender:
- Specify what category you want to appear for a specific post, on a per post basis
- Specify what taxonomy term you want to appear for a specific post (regardless of type) on a per post basis (Coming in the next release)
What you can’t do (no plans for them yet, if they do become possible it’ll be through Order Bender):
- Specify a taxonomy per specific post
- Specify a taxonomy and taxonomy term per specific post
