 * Great plugin. So simple to use.
 * The problem is that the plugin doesn’t show any headers, footers etc etc.
 * How can I make it to use my current custom theme?

 * On activate, the plugin should create a page called “Knowledgebase” and on that
   page should add the shortcode `[kbe_knowledgebase]` and assign the page template“
   KBE”.
 * It copies that page template and related CSS into your active theme. You can 
   directly edit those files to adjust the layout and design of the knowledgebase.
 * Does that help?

 * In my case, the page template “KBE” is missing from the dropdown menu; only the
   page templates I already had (default and theme-specific) are displayed. So of
   course my knowledgebase page is a total mess:

 * Why would the KBE template be missing? Or am I overlooking something?

 * Hmm interesting. Please can you try deactivating and reactivating the plugin 
   to see if it creates the page template?

 * I did, and it didn’t work. The template didn’t show up.
 * Also, I deactivated WP Knowledgebase, deactivated almost every other plugin I
   have, re-activated WP Knowledgebase, and the template didn’t show up either.
 * Another thing I don’t understand is: the “Default” page template seems to affect
   the Knowledgebase page differently, depending on whether I make it parentless
   or not. Parentless it looks like this: [http://betweendrafts.com/knowledgebase/](http://betweendrafts.com/knowledgebase/)

    Please can you confirm
   you are using the latest version of the WP Knowledgebase plugin, which is 1.0.2

 * Yes, it says 1.0.2 on the backend plugin page.

 * Also, for good measure:
 * – I updated to WP 4.1.1
    – deactivated & activated WP Knowledgebase – no template
 * – I updoaded WP’s twentyfifteen theme & temporarily activated it
    – deactivated&
   reactivated WP Knowledgebase – no template (actually, none at all)
 * I’m running out of ideas.
 * Can I add it manually in some way? Should I check some code somewhere? (I’m reasonably
   PHP-literate.)

 * We’ve done a bit of testing and can’t replicate the issue. Would you be willing
   to provide me temporary WP Admin access to your site so I can take a closer look
   at this and try to work out why this has happened?
 * If so, please submit a support ticket at [https://enigmaplugins.com/contact-support/](https://enigmaplugins.com/contact-support/)

 * Created temporary “editor” role access for you but can’t file the ticket without
   a license key.
