Yes. I am trying to use the full template – not template part – so I copied the files into the root of my theme as it says to do here:
The “extras” directory contains optional root level page templates, to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the root of your theme. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/

I did not rename the files.

Yes – I’ve seen this page you recommended and was very excited to get started… but when I copy over those templates into my theme folder they do not take effect. I make changes to those newly copied templates and those changes are not reflected on the bbpress pages.
As I understand it:
-content-archive-forum.php will be seen instead of archive-forum.php
-content-single-forum.php will be seen instead of single-forum.php

But it’s not. Help? Where am I going wrong?

My functions file doesn’t have any breadcrumb functions in it. Is the function supposed to be added there automatically? What I am trying to figure is what is the actual breadcrumb function and where should it be located?

[jralston]

I have found the template tag: `/**
* Output a breadcrumb
*
* @since bbPress (r2589)
*
* @param string $sep Separator. Defaults to ‘←’
* @param bool $current_page Include the current item
* @param bool $root Include the root page if one exists
* @uses bbp_get_breadcrumb() To get the breadcrumb
*/
function bbp_breadcrumb( $args = array() ) {
echo bbp_get_breadcrumb( $args );
}
/**
* Return a breadcrumb ( forum -> topic -> reply )
*
* @since bbPress (r2589)
*
* @param string $sep Separator. Defaults to ‘←’
* @param bool $current_page Include the current item
* @param bool $root Include the root page if one exists
*
* @uses get_post() To get the post
* @uses bbp_get_forum_permalink() To get the forum link
* @uses bbp_get_topic_permalink() To get the topic link
* @uses bbp_get_reply_permalink() To get the reply link
* @uses get_permalink() To get the permalink
* @uses bbp_get_forum_post_type() To get the forum post type
* @uses bbp_get_topic_post_type() To get the topic post type
* @uses bbp_get_reply_post_type() To get the reply post type
* @uses bbp_get_forum_title() To get the forum title
* @uses bbp_get_topic_title() To get the topic title
* @uses bbp_get_reply_title() To get the reply title
* @uses get_the_title() To get the title
* @uses apply_filters() Calls ‘bbp_get_breadcrumb’ with the crumbs
* @return string Breadcrumbs
*/
function bbp_get_breadcrumb( $args = array() ) {`

But I haven’t any idea how to use it. I know I need to add the function into functions file but I need the actual function. Then I need to call that function in the template file. Suggestions?

Solved. I changed the IP address. Rackspace apparently uses 2 different IPs – one for DB management. Sorry for the false alarm.
