Awesome plugin, far easier than building it myself. Having the filters available makes modifications easy for me. For a regular user, backend settings might be easier though.

Great plugin, works flawlessly and does exactly what I need (I have a website with categories and subcategories for the locations for a paddle tour blog, so the user can change to the parent categories easily).

Nice simple plugin that does exactly what I need. The ability to use all of the block editors new features such as font appearance etc is great. I had a small problem that the developer fixed and released an update within hours. Thanks!

Since the core breadcrumbs block in Gutenberg seems far away I was looking for an alterntive and found this litte gem. For my rather complicated setup with various custom post types and custom taxomomies it outputs the expects breadcrumb path and JSON-LD Schema. I am not burdened with way to many settings and custom CSS for styling. It is just well-known Gutenberg controls and a few custom controls for the breadcrumbs trail. And the best part is that Phi is super responive and offers great support.
