 * Hi,
 * I need to change the header and the sidebar from:
 * 1)otw-portfolio-post.php
 * 2)otw-prtfolio-filterable.php
 * Following the documentation, both files are modifiable by copying them in the
   active theme folder. The plugin will look in the active theme’s folder first,
   so if it finds the files there this is what it is going to be used.
 * I did that, I made some changes (I hid the sidebar & I called a second header
   I’ve created) but it doesn’t wirk. No changes are performed.
 * Could you please help me to find a solution? Do they need to be copied in any
   special folder or just along with the rest of .php files in my Worpress theme?
 * Many thanks.
