 * Hi Boone,
    Just upgraded to 1.3 and it appears the BP 1.7 template layer seems
   to be overriding doc template files which are copied over to the current theme.
   I had files customized and within the active child theme (/docs), but they are
   now not utilized (instead Docs seems to be hooking into the_content in a standard
   page template, as expected with BP 1.7)
 * Just pointing this out.

 * Thanks for the report, astereo.
 * This is not a bug, it’s by design. I didn’t want to encourage people to override
   top-level templates in the same way that they had to in earlier versions. However,
   for your use case – where you’ve already got templates that you’re happy with–
   I did include a filter that can be used to override this behavior. Drop the following
   into your functions.php:
 * `add_filter( 'bp_docs_do_theme_compat', '__return_false' );`
 * That should prevent BP theme compat from kicking in for top-level templates. 
   Please let me know if this works for you!

 * Was just about to post that I saw the note in the theme-bridge file. Thanks for
   hoping right on it and beating me to it though 🙂
 * thanks for the version update as well!

 * Thanks for doing cool things with the plugin 🙂 I’m always glad to hear that 
   people are making use of fancy stuff like custom template locations!
