Hi,
1. if you installed the override-templates.php correctly, then you just need to copy the files you want to change from wp-content/plugins/wpadverts/templates/ to wp-content/themes/mytheme/wpadverts/ (not wp-content/themes/mytheme/wpadverts/templates/).
2. to make CSS changes it is best to go to wp-admin / Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS panel and apply there changes which will override the default WPAdverts rules.
Hello Greg,
I have installed override-templates.php, copied the files, now I have the files in the folder …/themes/astra/wpadverts/ but the page http://www.mysite.it/adverts doesn’t change, I continue to see the adverts with your theme and not my Astra theme.
What I do wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
do you have the templates modified somehow or just copied?
Also, an actual link to your website could be helpful.
Just copied
http://www.napoliannunci.it here I have used the php function to add the adverts to the loop
http://www.napoliannunci.it\adverts here your page
Thanks a lot.
Just copying the files will not change anything in the layout, after copying the files you need to customize them to your needs.
Oh Okey I will try. Thank you

Hello Greg.
When I copy a file from wp-content/plugins/wpadverts/templates/ to wp-content/themes/mytheme/wpadverts/ no changes.
What I need? I want to put files to wp-content/themes/mytheme/wpadverts/ which will load styles from my directory, for example from wp-content/themes/mytheme/wpadverts/css or wp-content/themes/mytheme
I want to make my child directory for your plugin like a child theme.

Hi,
1. do you have the override templates snippet (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/master/override-templates/override-templates.php) installed and activated?
If not then uploading the files will not do anything.
2. the child templates work only for the files in wpadverts/templates/ folder, it will not work for JS or CSS files.

Hi, yes I upload and activated this plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/master/override-templates/override-templates.php
But, what I have to write here? $dirs[] = $upload_dir["basedir"] . "/wpadverts/";
/wpadverts/ or /mytheme/wpadverts/ or fullpath?
My current theme is a child of twentytwenty.

Hi,
you should leave it as is, this line will detect your current theme and will set the path to /wp-content/themes/{your-theme-name}/wpadverts/
So i understand you have the override templates working and the files uploaded to /wp-content/themes/{your-theme-name}/wpadverts/, if you make a change in a file for example /wp-content/themes/{your-theme-name}/wpadverts/list.php do you see this change on page with [adverts_list] shortcode?

Hi, I make a changes in single.php, but doesn’t work. When I make a changes in your folder wp-content/plugins/wpadverts/templates/ it’s working.
Hi,
ok, it seems the files are not being pulled but it is hard to tell why.
I would start debugging with adding below function override_templates( $tpl ) { the line echo "OK.";, then refresh the page and see if “OK.” shows somewhere on the page.
If it does then it means the loading custom templates works (and you can remove the line echo "OK.";), if it doesn’t then it means it does not work, this might be because the code is not executed for some reason.
If the “OK” shows then it would best if you could post here a screenshot from your FTP program so i could see the full path and where you have the files uploaded?
