While I appreciate the UI improvement, I found some of my custom template files don't work anymore.
For example, themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/post.cover.php, I copied this file into my template's html folder and made some modification. Now where do I find its equivalent?
For now is there any workaround or do I have to directly edit the files under wireframe in the component folder?
There is no workaround currently so you have to directly edit the files.
which file is corresponding to post cover in entry view?
This is the corresponding file: JoomlaFolder/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/helpers/post/entry/cover.php

Hi shenkwen,

This is the new path: JoomlaFolder/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/helpers/post/list/cover.php

If your frontpage menu item uses card or simple post style setting, the following files in the same directory are the ones responsible.
cover.card.php
cover.simple.php

Hey shenkwen,

You can do the template override from EasyBlog's themes section(refer attached). During the saving process, the system will also place the file in your template folder(the path is shown).

I just checked this new feature: When I edit a template other than wireframe, in the overriding path, it doesn't indicate which template this file is originally from. Can you explain how so? Is wireframe still a special template which share some of its files with other tempalte? How to create my own template?

I had a custom template before upgrading to 6. It worked well.

Now although in the category setting it is still selected as the template but it seems none of its files is in effect. For example
html/com_easyblog/themes/MYTEMPLATE/blogs/entry/default.posts.php

I wrote some custom code in this file, now where should I apply them?

It should respect the default site(frontend) template as what you set from the backend.

Yes, this behavior is still the same as the previous version.
Do you mean that you would like to create another Easyblog theme for Easyblog? If yes, you can refer to the Easyblog default Wireframe theme and what the file structure looks like.

It should be the same as what I guided you last time https://stackideas.com/forums/problem-with-custom-theme , perhaps you can share with us your custom theme folder or you can update your site backend and FTP access so we can investigate this issue?

Please watch this video
https://www.loom.com/share/d575dd1b478948089327d25f4b48aaeb?from_recorder=1&focus_title=1

Basically I have copied the new "helpers" folder from theme wireframe to my custom theme. But it is not working. Wireframe's files are still being used.

Thanks for the video shenkwen. It appears that there is a bug here where the custom theme override only work for certain files. I will log this in our tracker so we can address this.

Wow it's been almost a year and this bug hasn't been fixed?

Today I spent an hour to investigate why my custom theme's files are not working and eventually got to this post. You mentioned " It appears that there is a bug here where the custom theme override only work for certain files." and this seems to be still the case!

this fix was already included in EasyBlog 6.0.7 version.
Can you tell which EasyBlog version you are using as your site details are not working ?
