 * Hi ,
 * > “Copy the file single-bug-library-bugs.php from the bug-library plugin directory
   > to your theme directory to display all information related to your bugs. You
   > might have to edit this file a bit and compare it to single.php to get the 
   > proper layout to show up on your web site.”
 * Do we actually save “single-bug-library-bugs.php” as “single.php” and overwrite
   the original one?
 * Thanks!

 * Sorry for the late reply. No, you don’t overwrite single.php. You add the file
   to your site’s theme and WordPress will know to use this new template instead
   of single.php to display items that are created using Bug Library. Now, the example
   single-bug-library.php that I provided was based on one of the default themes
   from WordPress. It will need to be tailored to work with the theme you selected
   for your site.
 * Let me know if you have further questions.

 * What default WP theme do you use?
    I suspect twenty ten, correct?
 * Unfortunately I don’t have that, tried other default themes of WP to get it to
   show similar to your example screendumps but don’t seem to come near that.
    Would
   it be possible to supply a single-bug-library-bugs.php which works with twenty
   fifteen for example?

 * Sure, I will update the file to work with Twenty Fifteen over the week-end.

 * Just wanted to let you know that I just released version 1.3.6 with an updated
   single page template for bugs, based on Twenty Fifteen. Also, there was an issue
   where default settings were not getting created correctly. This is also resolved
   as well.
 * Please make sure you go to options page and save them, as well as go to stylesheet
   editor page and save to get all settings since you started from the previous 
   version.
 * Please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.
