How do I remove the arrows from the breadcrumbs?

Question

How do I remove ">>" from the breadcrumbs?

I need to remove those characters because in my site, the breadcrumbs appear like in the following screenshot.

This is the code that generates the breadcrumbs.

$temp = "</a>" . $title . "</a></div>"; 
$breadcrumb = str_replace("</a></div>", $temp, $breadcrumb); 
print($breadcrumb);

Answer 1

You can override theme_breadcrumb() function in your theme. As mentioned in the below code.

function yourthemename_breadcrumb($variables) {
  $breadcrumb = $variables['breadcrumb'];

  if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
    // Provide a navigational heading to give context for breadcrumb links to
    // screen-reader users. Make the heading invisible with .element-invisible.
    $output = '<h2 class="element-invisible">' . t('You are here') . '</h2>';

    $output .= '<div class="breadcrumb">' . implode(' » ', $breadcrumb) . '</div>';
    return $output;
  }
}

Just write above code in your template.php and change >> to whatever you want.
