Hi,

Simple Press is the best forum for Wordpress sites. I have tried them all... Now to my questions:

How can I get my forum to display the breadcrums similar to your support forum? See screenshot. Is it a special template or you just modified the basic standard template?simple-press.pngImage Enlarger

The theme we run on this support site is a custom theme (based on default) so not available I'm afraid, however this is achievable relatively easily.

Firstly, have you tried downloading our 'Unified' theme? Currently it is the only premium theme we offer (more coming) to Silver or Gold members.

Unified displays the breadcrumbs in the same way that we do here, although here we use images, unified uses CSS.

Now it is possible to add the breadcrumbs from the Unified.php stylesheet to the default.php stylesheet, update the overlay variables and change the template function in the default themes template (forum-themes > default > templates > spHead.php) to render the breadcrumbs in a line instead of in a tree - 'tree=0'

But it's a lot easier just to use the unified theme if you are happy with it. Of course we do offer a custom theme service if you are not able, and would happily quote for adding the breadcrumb change, but we are also more than happy to provide guidance on how to make the change if you wish to do it yourself.

Hope this helps

Also forgot to add. If you are going to change anything in your theme, we strongly suggest you make a child theme or a complete copy to preserve changes, as anything you do could be overwritten the next time we put out an update.

See 'Using Themes' in the Codex menu on the right

I tried it and it is a very clean theme. I may end up using it. I love the breadcrums the way the arrows work.
