 * I installed WP Knowledge base and set up my categories. I am now trying to change
   the order of the title, search and breadcrumbs but it does not matter whether
   I make the changes via a FTP client or in WP editor, nothing reflects in the 
   front-end.
 * If I try to edit it via WP editor I get this (inactive) state. I am browsing 
   to it on the front-end through the slug created in the settings.
 * wp-knowledgebase/template/kbe_knowledgebase.php (inactive)
 * Any idea why this is happening? I have a child theme activated but can’t get 
   this working.

 * Ah yes, I can explain that…
    On activate, the WP Knowledgebase copies it’s template
   files into your active theme folder. So the css and layout of the plugin is all
   controlled from within your active theme. The reason for this is because it was
   impossible to get the plugin looking universally nice across all themes. I needed
   a way for you to be able to customise the layout and css without having those
   customisations overwritten when the plugin updates.
 * Make sense?
