# Creating custom template

 * The description for this plugin says that I can “[customize] Menubar templates[
   that] can be moved into an independent folder, so [I] can upgrade to a new Menubar
   version without losing [my] changes.” I’m trying to do this, but it’s not working
   out. I have duplicated the superfish’ template folder and renamed the new one‘
   my_menubar’. After doing this, ‘my_menubar’ shows up as an option under the Templates
   drop-down when editing my menu, but after selecting it and then reloading my 
   webpage, I get “WP Menubar error: Function wpm_display_my_menubar() not found!”
 * Do I need to go to the files in the ‘my_menubar’ folder and replace all instances
   of ‘superfish’ with ‘my_menubar’?
    Any help solving this would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi tnsmart,
 * To customize a template you can just edit it, without changing its name. If you
   wish to change its name, you have to change it everywhere in the template, as
   you correctly guessed.

 * Will simply editing the original template allow my changes to be retained if 
   the plugin is updated?

 * If you edit a template, you should change the template directory, see
