 * Hey there,
 * I didn’t see shortcode support, so wanted to confirm that this was the correct
   way to create a shortcode for the nav menu:
 * I added this in functions.php
    add_shortcode( ‘show-breadcrumb’ , ‘ss_show_breadcrumb’);
   function ss_show_breadcrumb() { if(function_exists(‘bcn_display’)) { return bcn_display(
   true); } }
 * and then called [show-breadcrumb] to output it.

 * That will probably work. Just note that shortcodes are a little annoying to use
   since you have to add them to each post to see the breadcrumb trail on that page.

 * Thanks, many of the themes I use have a place to add text in the header area,
   at least in this case the shortcode is fairly convenient.
