 * This Third-Party Theme Compatibility doesn’t work. I did what is mentioned [here](https://docs.wpclubmanager.com/article/64-third-party-theme-compatibility).
   But still nothing is fixed, I am using Jnews WordPress theme. I would recommend
   uploading a video tutorial on this. Or else I have no option to use Sportpress.
   It is really frustrating.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fthird-party-theme-compatibility%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Vishal,
 * I’ve replied to you on your support ticket but I’ll post the reply below for 
   reference 🙂
 * > I’ll try to describe the easiest way to customize your theme, hopefully it 
   > will be enough to get you set up 🙂
   > Firstly you should create a child theme. This means you can update JNews without
   > losing your customizations so it really is important you do this.
   > I do believe JNews comes with a child theme so you can use that.
   > Add a folder called `wpclubmanager` to that child theme then create and add
   > 4 files to that folder called:
   > single-club.php
   >  single-match.php single-player.php single-staff.php
   > You should now have a child theme structure that looks like this:
   > jnews-child
   >  – – style.css – – functions.php wpclubmanager – – single-club.
   > php – – single-match.php – – single-player.php – – single-staff.php
   > From your JNews theme copy the page.php file and paste the contents into each
   > of those 4 wpclubmanager files. Now you need to locate the ‘WordPress Loop’
   > inside of those files and replace it with my plugins ‘loop’.
   > I don’t know the theme so can’t tell you exactly where the loop is but look
   > for:
   > `<?php the_content(); ?>`
   > That needs to be replaced with:
   > `<?php wpclubmanager_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-player' ); ?>`
   > in each page. Make sure to change the second parameter for each page respectively.
   > That’s it! Once you activate the child theme then you pages should work correctly.
 * I hope that is of help to anybody in this situation 🙂
