 * Hello
 * I have a website with a child theme. In this child theme i have the dir “download-
   manager/link-templates” with the file “link-template-tosam-2-0.php”. I can see
   the file with template-id correctly in the backend.
 * Then i use this shortcode:
    [wpdm_category id=”cmyk-fuellerinserate” template
   =”link-template-tosam-2-0″ order_by=”title” order=”asc”]
 * But on the website the system uses the default template. When i directly (for
   test) copy the file “link-template-tosam-2-0.php” in the default plugin dir, 
   i can use my own template. Why dosen’t it work when the file is in the child 
   theme dir?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-child-theme-12%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
