 * Hi,
 * tried to overwrite login-form etc. like the doc said:
 * [https://docs.wpeverest.com/user-registration/docs/how-to-edit-user-registration-template-files-such-as-login-form/](https://docs.wpeverest.com/user-registration/docs/how-to-edit-user-registration-template-files-such-as-login-form/)
 * Didn’t work for me, do I need to trigger an action / filter or something within
   the theme?

 * Hi [@dennisheiden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennisheiden/),
 * Thank you for writing in,
 * The plugin does not need any action/ filter hooks within the theme. Simply you
   need to create the folder for user registration on your theme and if you need
   to edit the dashboard,
    -> Go to wp-content/plugins/user-registration/templates/
   myaccount/dashboard.php -> Copy this file. -> Go to wp-content/themes/your-chosen-
   theme/ and create a folder user-registration and inside this folder create folder
   myaccount. -> Paste the copied dashboard.php file here and edit to your requirements.
   This file will override the plugin’s file.
 * Regards!

 * I’m back! Everything is working now. The customer theme was setting the theme
   root to a sub folder of the theme itself. Moving the user-reg template folder
   to that subfolder solved the issue.
 * Thanks!
