Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol

I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.

Can someone help me with this please?
My site: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/discussions/

I have the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress and am using the Darling theme which is a child theme of Genesis/Studio Press.

Thanx in advance 🙂

I would also like to move the breadcrumbs above the title lol

Hi lissy,

This is a nice one indeed … with the standard arguments of bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args I don’t seem to get to display the text correctly (without being part of the ‘home’).

Let me see if I find something and will add it to my toolkit too.

Thanx so much 🙂

Here is a function to show the You Are Here: text.

function rkk_breadcrumb_text() {
    $args['before']  = '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p><span class="bbp-breadcrumb-text">You Are Here: </span>';
    return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'rkk_breadcrumb_text');

You may have to edit this function later if bbPress shows their breadcrumb items in a list though.

Thank you SO much 🙂

Hmmm, that code works but when I add it the code I added to change the seperator stops working. And if I add the function for the seperator after the code you gave me that one then stops working lol

Here is the function I am using for the seperator, maybe they need to be combined somehow to work properly together?

//* Change BBPress Breadcrumb Seperator
function custom_bbp_breadcrumb() {
    $args['sep'] = ' / ';
    return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_breadcrumb' );

Never mind, found my answer LOL just had to change one little bit 🙂

//* Change BBPress Breadcrumb Seperator
function filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator() {
$sep = ' / ';
return $sep;
}

add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb_separator', 'filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator');

Hmm that is weird adding the breadcrumb like this worked for me. Either function you use is fine though.

function rkk_breadcrumb_text() {
    $args['before']  = '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p><span class="bbp-breadcrumb-text">You Are Here: </span>';
    $args['sep'] = ' / ';
    return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'rkk_breadcrumb_text');

I think because I had two separate functions both using bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args one cancelled out the other so changing that section worked. I prefer having it all in one though. Thanx so much for all your help 🙂

@lissyhunnybee

If you don’t want to add yourself all the functions for the breadcrum, you can find them also in my bbP Toolkit plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/).
