    Ok, I thought you had already copied the file to another folder path. If you have not, you can read about template override files on this doc page:

    The tldr version is, put the card.php file in this folder:

    • ../wp-content/connections-templates/profile

    I hope this helps!

    Yes, the override will be loaded even if it is not activated on the Connections Templates admin page (assuming you are using the template shortcode option to load the templates instead of the activated template).

    I hope this helps!

    i have also tried that but without activating template overriding can not work on Divi child-theme?
    is there is any hook or filter which i can use to override card.php

    The template override will load regardless of the theme, it does not matter as there is no interaction with the theme. There also is no hook. If the file is in the right place, it will be loaded.

    If you are have altered the card.php file for the Profile template and that template is not activated on the Connections Template admin page you must use the tempalte shortcode option, like so:

    • [connections temnplate=profile]
