[Plugin: Yoast Breadcrumbs] How to get rid of first separator?

Dude I was going crazy with this issue as well.
First off download Yoast’s SEO plugin which includes Breadcrumbs, its the newest version.
Next in the internal links section of the Seo dashboard view on the ‘Separator Between Breadcrumbs’ field but in your separator with a span tag that has a class.
For example <span class=”separator”>|</span> .

Then just grab it with your css and display none.
Example:

.separator:first-child { display: none; }

Hope that helps!

Actually this was my final css 1st line removes ‘home’ second line removes first >>

#breadcrumbs > span > span:first-child { display: none; }
#breadcrumbs > span > span:nth-child(2) { display: none; }
