Custom Template Problem

Hi! We have been messing around with trying to get our own template working. I tried copying and pasting a default template folder from the

plugins / connections / templates

folder to the

wp-content / connections_templates

and it didn’t work (By didn’t work, I should clarify it is NOT showing up in the list). At this point, we are at a loss. I tried searching for the solution but there were small problems such as misspellings and wrong location folders. Unless the plug in changed since those versions, I have no idea what else to do. The only error I am getting is

ERROR: Template [my template name] not found.

Do I have to modify anything in the php file of the template folder? Any other ideas? Thanks!
