 * Hi,
    Quick question about skins. Your support page
 * [https://wp-customerarea.com/documentation/the-skin-system/](https://wp-customerarea.com/documentation/the-skin-system/)
 * indicates that to make a new skin:
 * Copy the folder /wp-content/plugins/customer-area/skins/frontend/default-v4…
 * but that folder is not present in the download, I only see master and master-
   dark.
 * Also, when I turn off the skins via the dashboard’s “front end” tab, it breaks
   the ‘General’ and ‘Address’ tabs and the ‘Country’ and ‘State’ dropdowns on the
   edit account page (this happens in the wordpress 2016 theme as well as mine).
   I was thinking just using default-v4 skin might load whatever css/js the tabs/
   dropdowns rely on, but can’t find that default-v4 folder, as described above.
   Here are some options as I see them:
 * 1. Ideally I would like to have the skins off, with the tabs and dropdowns working
   as they do in your master skin
 * or
 * 2. I was able to get the tabs working by just enqueueing bootstrap myself on 
   the customer-account-edit-content.template.php which I’ve overwritten in my theme
   using your handy template system
    ‘//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/
   css/bootstrap.min.css’ ‘//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.
   min.js’ I would be fine with enqueueing the style/js for the dropdown in the 
   same way, but I am not sure what the dependency is, though I have attempted to
   isolate it (jqueryUI along with css from your skins I am guessing).
 * or
 * 3. If the default-v4 skin would fix these issues while allowing me to have full
   control of the styling (we have multiple custom post types being protected by
   customer area and all have different styling requirements, so something like 
   the master skin won’t work for us), then I’d be happy to employ it, just need
   it first 🙂
 * Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Our documentation has not been updated. default-v4 is an old skin. Since 7.0 
   the default skin is `master` (and `master-dark` is a variant of it).
 * A skin contains both styles as well as UI scripts required by the skin to enhance
   the UI of WPCA.
 * If something is not working then it means most probably that your theme (or another
   plugin) is conflicting with the skin. To make sure, you can try to switch temporarly
   to one of the default themes (TwentyTwelve for instance) and see if it works.
 * If that is the case, have a look at our FAQ, you should find something about 
   resolving Booststrap conflicts.
