 * I followed your instructions and it worked very well with my child-theme.
 * If you have created and activated a child-theme the `YOUR-THEME` is the child-
   theme.

 * When searching for the `camerata` theme the folder found is `camerata-child`
   
   Do you have a `camerata-child` folder?

 * Deactivate your child-theme and save your custom templates to the parent theme
   folder.
 *     ```
       themes/{parent-theme}/ultimate-member/templates/profile-bc.php
       themes/{parent-theme/ultimate-member/templates/members-bc.php
       ```
