# Bug: Doesn’t include ‘gdpr-modules’ template from child theme

 * Hi,
 * The ‘gdpr-modules’ folder can be copied/moved into your theme folder and modified
   to override the default plugin templates.
 * That’s all good, but if you use a child theme and move the ‘gdpr-modules’ folder
   into your child theme, it fails and doesn’t display anything.
 * This is because ‘moove-modules-view.php’ uses ‘locate_template()’ and ‘get_template_directory()’.
   It checks if the template file exists in either the parent or child theme, but
   then ASSUMES that it is in the parent theme.
 * A quick and dirty re-write of the ‘load()’ function to fix this problem:
 *     ```
       public static function load( $view, $content ) {
       	$view_name = 'gdpr-modules' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . str_replace( '.' , DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR , $view ) . '.php';
       	$view_file_plugin = dirname( __FILE__ ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $view_name;
       	$view_file_theme = locate_template( $view_name );
       	ob_start();
       	if ( file_exists( $view_file_theme ) && is_readable( $view_file_theme ) ) {
       		include $view_file_theme;
       	} else if ( file_exists( $view_file_plugin ) && is_readable( $view_file_plugin ) ) {
       		include $view_file_plugin;
       	}
       	return ob_get_clean();
       }
       ```
