   While this plugin works nicely with the default them, I can't make it work with my current theme. Tried hacking the templates (now in theme folder) but no way !!. I know you're going to ask what theme and it's a premium theme. So, if I paste the page.php template here, can you give me instructions how to make this work? I already tried substituting the headers and footer, but I guess, I'm just out of reach

   thank-you (page.php of my theme below.)
   

   <?php
   get_header();
   fw_top_banner('page', get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'header_image', true)); //Get big header image
   $advanced_settings = get_option(THEME_PREFIX.'advanced_settings', true);
   ?>
   <!-- Content Section -->
   <div id="contentsec">

           <!-- Columns -->

   Hello @houseofstrauss,

   As WP Idea stream uses 6 templates, you can try to use this one without changing anything by creating 4 files in your theme's folder and copy the content above :

   • all-ideas.php
   • category-ideas.php
   • featured-ideas.php
   • tag-ideas.php

   Now if you want to include the rating system, you can add this tag just above the <?php the_content();?> tag :
   <div><?php wp_idea_stream_ratings();?></div>

   For all-ideas.php, you can try to add this tag just under your template tag <div class="col1 left" id="left_colum"> :
   

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   			printf( __( 'Number of ideas so far: %s', 'wp-idea-stream' ), wp_idea_stream_number_ideas() );
   		?></h1>

   For category-ideas.php, you can try to add this tag just under your template tag <div class="col1 left" id="left_colum"> :
   

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   			printf( __( 'Category Archives: %s | %s ideas were posted in this category so far', 'wp-idea-stream' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>', '<span>' . wp_idea_stream_number_ideas() . '</span>' );
   		?></h1>

   For featured-ideas.php, you can try to add this tag just under your template tag <div class="col1 left" id="left_colum"> :
   

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   			 printf( __( 'Featured Ideas | %s ideas are featured so far', 'wp-idea-stream' ), '<span>' . wp_idea_stream_number_ideas() . '</span>');
   		?></h1>

   For tag-ideas.php, you can try to add this tag just under your template tag <div class="col1 left" id="left_colum"> :
   

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   			printf( __( 'Tag Archives: %s | %s ideas were posted in this tag so far', 'wp-idea-stream' ), '<span>' . single_tag_title( '', false ) . '</span>', '<span>' . wp_idea_stream_number_ideas() . '</span>' );
   		?></h1>

   From there, you'll need to adapt your single.php template by copying its content in a new file single-idea.php and if you want to make available the rating system, simply add this tag above the <?php the_content();?> one :
   <?php wp_idea_stream_ratings_single();?>

   Finally, you'll need to create the new-idea.php template. So you can try to copy the pasted content you added and to adapt it by replacing the loop (that is to say lines 10 to 78 of your code) by this code :
   

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   			 _e( 'Submit your idea!', 'wp-idea-stream' );
   		?></h1>
   
   		<?php do_action('wp_idea_stream_before_form_new_idea');?>
   
   		<?php do_action('wp_idea_stream_insert_editor');?>
   
   		<?php do_action('wp_idea_stream_after_form_new_idea');?>

   Hope this will help you to make the plugin displays well in your theme.

   Did it work? I'm curious, I'm sure others to.

   Please leave feedback about how this ended for you.

   Thanks.

   Yeah, sort of. TBH, I'm using a premium theme that does not play nicely with this plugin. It works perfectly on other themes I;ve used. Some plugins need a bit more coaxing to work and this is one of them. A bit of php knowledge is required and you need time to experiment.

   Thanks. This may help me to decide to use it or not. It's not a simple plugin that's for sure, all that playing around in the frontend and so.

   Do you have any other good experience with similar plugins you can share?

   Thanks.

   One premium plugin here is worth a look. Again it works well on certain most themes. But you may want GPL instead of premium??
