 * Hello.
 * I have read the other posts on this topic thoroughly but i cannot get my head
   around what i need where, sorry to ask again but i am really, really stuck:
 * I have this in my functions.php:
 *     ```
       	function my_block_editor_assets() {
       		wp_enqueue_script(
       			'my-block-editor-js',
       			get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . './block-editor/block-filter.js',
       			array( 'wp-hooks' ),
       			'1.0.0',
       			true // Enqueue the script in the footer.
       		);
       	}
       	add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', 'my_block_editor_assets' );
       ```
   
 * The file ‘block-filter.js’ resides in ‘themename/block-editor/block-filter.js’(
   so the folder ‘block-editor’ and my functions.php are on the same level).
 * The content of this file is:
 *     ```
       function myRowTemplates(templates) {
   
       		templates.push( {
   
       			name: '1-1-1-1',
       			title: '4 Columns',
       			icon: 'layout',
       			templateLock: 'all',
       			template: [
   
       				[
       					'wp-bootstrap-blocks/column',
       					{
       						sizeLg: 3,
       						sizeMd: 6
       					}
       				],
       				[
       					'wp-bootstrap-blocks/column',
       					{
       						sizeLg: 3,
       						sizeMd: 6
       					}
       				],
       				[
       					'wp-bootstrap-blocks/column',
       					{
       						sizeLg: 3,
       						sizeMd: 6
       					}
       				],
       				[
       					'wp-bootstrap-blocks/column',
       					{
       						sizeLg: 3,
       						sizeMd: 6
       					}
       				]
       			]
       		});
   
       		return templates;
       	}
   
       	wp.hooks.addFilter('wpBootstrapBlocks.row.templates', 'themename/wp-bootstrap-blocks/row/templates', myRowTemplates);
       ```
   
 * Do i need anything else?
    Somehow it seems i also need a file in ‘themename/wp-
   bootstrap-blocks/row/template’ so i tried to copy the file from the extension
   into that place, so in there i have the file ‘row.php’ with its original content.
 * I am completely stuck, like sitting in front of a wall i’d like to look through
   but can not.
 * Any help is definitely welcome and appreciated.
    Will try to get along but please,
   if you have an idea what i’m missing, please tell me 🙂
 * Thank you so much, cheers, Frank

 * Hm,
 * i had an error left in this line because of earlier tests with pathoptions:
    `
   get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . './block-editor/block-filter.js',`
 * One dot too much, that was:
    `get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/block-editor/
   block-filter.js',`
 * I can see the option now in the toolbar, it creates 4 columns in the backend.
 * Super nice.
    Will now try and remove that row template and see if it still works.

 * I deleted the whole folder ‘themename/wp-bootstrap-blocks’.
 * So, inside of ‘block-filters.js’ i still have the line
 * `wp.hooks.addFilter('wpBootstrapBlocks.row.templates', 'themename/wp-bootstrap-
   blocks/row/templates', myRowTemplates);`
 * but there is no such folder ”themename/wp-bootstrap-blocks/row/templates’ anymore
   and there is no such file ‘row.php’ anymore (but the default one from the original
   extension folder).
 * So, *why* is this *still working* (i have my 4-columns-option there and it works,
   but, yes, why) ??
 * Please, somebody, help me to not stay clueless, thank you.

 * Hi [@notknow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/notknow/). Your custom template
   definition looks good. You don’t need to overwrite the `row.php` template for
   this to work. A custom row template just defines a pre-configuration of the inner`
   column` blocks. It isn’t adding any more functionality which would require to
   overwrite the `row.php` template.

 * Ah, thank you for your reply.
    So you have some kind of relpacement hierarchy,
   like with templates, *if* a custom file exists you use that one, if not you use
   your shipped version. It’s often exactly these things that deliver some extra
   information that is interesting. Thanks you for answering and thanks por the 
   plugin.

 * Exactly, the plugin provides a default template for each block (you can have 
   look at them here: [https://github.com/liip/bootstrap-blocks-wordpress-plugin/tree/master/src/templates](https://github.com/liip/bootstrap-blocks-wordpress-plugin/tree/master/src/templates)).
   As soon as one of these templates is found in the `wp-bootstrap-blocks` folder
   inside of your WP template folder this file is used instead of the default one.
   This can be used to modify the output of each block to your own needs.
