Issues with customising theme display

I’m attempting to customise the display of the Post Kinds from the default. I have two issues currently with doing this.

01. The remove_filter command you describe in the plugin description doesn’t seem to work on my wordpress installation. When I attempt to use this in my themes function.php it has zero effect. The plugin still injects kind content ahead of the post content. It does this when I apply this filter to both the theme function.php and the child themes function.php

02. Creating a kind_view folder in my themes directory with custom templates such as kind-reply.php doesn’t appear to make any difference to the way the injected code appears. None of the changes take effect.

I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions or thoughts, anyone got this working and able to tell me how I’m being a dunce?
