How do I modify default Hybrid breadcrumb with child theme breadcrumb?

   I want to replace the separator ‘/’ with ‘>’ in the breadcrumb trail .

   I copied the ‘breadcrumb-trail.php’ from ‘hybrid’ theme and then uploaded my modified one to:
   themes/hybrid-news/library/extensions/breadcrumb-trail.php but it doesn’t show the update. Is this what I am meant to do?

   When I upload it to the default ‘hybrid’ theme and it works, but this is not ideal as the next time I upgrade it will be overwritten. Is there something I am missing? Am I meant to do something to the functions.php file as well?

   Thanks heaps for your time, Ian

   P.S. I am using the latest version hybrid.0.7.1, but had also tried this before with hybrid.0.7 which didn't work either.

   Don't touch the breadcrumb file. Just add the following to your functions.php:

   add_filter( 'breadcrumb_trail_args', 'custom_breadcrumb_args' );
   
   function custom_breadcrumb_args( $args = '') {
   	$args['separator'] = '>';
   	return $args;
   }

   Thank you very much Kyle, worked perfectly :)

   I wonder if you can help with another problem I have.
   I want to be able to display different category post intros on homepage in different areas and not sure how or where to do that .

   Eg; 'News' category latest 3 posts in one column. Another category latest posts in another area.

   I'd probably use the query posts plugin for something like that, but you are better off starting a new post for that question and let someone else offer a solution.
