What the author says it does

Breadcrumb NavXT, the successor to the popular WordPress plugin Breadcrumb Navigation XT, was written from the ground up to be better than its ancestor. This plugin generates locational breadcrumb trails for your WordPress powered blog or website. These breadcrumb trails are highly customizable to suit the needs of just about any website running WordPress. The Administrative interface makes setting options easy, while a direct class access is available for theme developers and more adventurous users.

PHP Requirements

Breadcrumb NavXT 7.0 and newer require PHP7.0

Breadcrumb NavXT 5.2 and newer require PHP5.3
