    Hi!

    I know this is a known problem and on the WP Club Manager website there is a section in the docs about it but the help section isn’t very helpful.

    https://docs.wpclubmanager.com/article/64-third-party-theme-compatibility

    It says to add unhooks in the functions.php but can the lines go anywhere or in a certain place?

    The added hooks, can they go anywhere in the functions.php or only in a certain place? What hooks should I be looking for?

    Has anyone actually added the code and got this to work with a 3rd party theme? I’d be grateful for any help anyone can offer. The specific theme I am using is Publisher but I am not asking for help specifically for my theme, I am just mentioning it for information purposes.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ceitinn,

    Sorry you don’t think the docs aren’t very helpful, I know I need to improve that area of the docs so I will try to get that done sooner rather than later!

    Hooks can be added anywhere in your themes functions.php file, you can just add them to the bottom to make it easy to find.

    If you plan to make changes to your theme it is always a better idea to make a child theme so that you can update your theme without losing your changes. If you don’t know how to do that, don’t worry – it is a lot easier than it sounds – https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-create-wordpress-child-theme/

    Your new hooks would then be added to your child themes functions.php

    I hope that helps ??

    Hi!

    Thanks for the reply.

    The plugin is really nice and I appreciate the time and effort you put in to it and I am not the most advanced user which might explain why the docs were not so helpful to me.

    The theme I use has a child theme with it and the functions.php in the child theme folder has about 40 lines of code which is why I didn’t know where to put the unhooks and new hooks.

    I’ll give your suggestion a go. I might just make a new site on my domain just for your plugin. I noticed that the default WordPress 2016 theme works well out of the box but the 2017 and 2018 don’t.

    Thanks again. ??
