Template files copying into Parent theme not Child theme

    Hi there I am using a child theme but the plugin does not recognize it as the active theme and instead copies the template files etc into the parent theme. I need to make modifications to the template files but am worried the plugin will break when the parent theme is updated as I am pretty sure the entire folder is replaced on update. Is there anything I can do to get the plugin to recognize the child theme? Thanks in advance.

  • I recently setup a child theme in preparation to update the parent (Avada) and I can confirm the KBE file in parent are overwritten and that the child theme files are not recognised. Is the theme set somewhere I can update?

    Hmm ok thanks for reporting this guys… definitely a flaw. Let me check this out and come up with a fix.

    In child functions.php needs …

    function kbe_styles(){
	wp_enqueue_style ('kbe-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/kbe_style.css');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'kbe_styles' );

    BTW brilliant plugin thanks

    Awesome, thanks for providing a fix ianpurves. I’ll also look into how we can handle this better in the plugin itself, but in the meantime the code above will work great for users of child themes. Thanks a lot!

    Support for Child Themes added in latest release.

    This doesn’t seem to be fixed in the latest release.

    I updated this plugin and lost all formatting edits. The old kbe css files are still showing in my parent theme directory. There are no new kbe css files in the child theme directory. I see new css files in the plugin directory but nowhere else.

    Please update to 1.0.8, and then deactivate and reactivate the plugin.
    Also check that your Knowledgebase page has the shortcode on it and the page template KBE assigned.
