I got a little more info from the theme (Sofa OPNPress from ThemeForest) owner… these are his words exactly:

“Yeap, I’m afraid breadcrumbs will not work with BBpress. And I think there’s no function or a plugin that will actually do the job properly. This theme is using Dimox breadcrumbs function (see http://sum.mx/4apyd2). Maybe you could ask for author advice on that subject… as far as I can see all the breadcrumbs logic relies on if-else clauses and if there’s a clause that can be used to “detect” BBpress – you are on the horse.”

To answer your question, and I’m sure I’m over simplifying, I guess I was just going to use short codes to get the forums to show up and then rely on the built in breadcrumbs to do their job. But if I could figure out at least what is causing the conflict and causing the page to break the I could fix that and if 2 breadcrumbs were show I’d settle for that. Or, said a different way, if the main site breadcrumbs are more important to me than the forum breadcrumbs if that makes sense.

I’m more of a frontend coder with the ability to do minor tweaking to existing function files which is why I’ve gotten to this point. It’s a bit over my head on how best to address it. I hate being the unique scenario guy but would love to use bbpress for facilitating my community interaction. Any more help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks!!

I went this route too – BUT…

My problem was a bit like yours – whitespace on the site after install.

I have a theme I bought and after getting this plugin to work fine right out of the box (so to speak) on another purchased theme I thought it would be fine for this site. Anyway, after I installed this and set up a forum and few topics I went thru the site and noticed the forum pages would break (not the rest of the site just forum pages) – at the breadcrumb for the main site (not the bbp breadcrumb). Header would show, but no footer, nothing after the breadcrumb start. If I disable the breadcrumbs in the main theme everything is fine – course what I’d rather do is turn off the breadcrumbs for BBPress. I might not have searched the forum enough, but I love to know how to disable (not just hide) the bbp breadcrumb. Well I guess I would love to what’s causing the conflict, but there aren’t any errors being thrown and I don’t have the patience to investigate this out without some help. I’ve also contacted the theme maker but I thought I’d give this a try too.

John, if your out there, a little insight perhaps?
