Title: Not recognizing template Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Not recognizing template * [Treebeard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malawimama/) * (@malawimama) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/) * I know this is a stupid question, but for some reason the slideshow is not recognizing the custom template. * I duplicated the /thumbnails template into my own theme, made some css changes. When I check Firebug, the styles are still being loaded from the template in the plugin directory. I cleared the browser cache, but still no changes. * Is that function deprecated perhaps? * Thanks~ * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Sxiperio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sxiperio/) * (@sxiperio) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3635849) * Are you have selected your new template when editing slideshow? If you don’t see your template that means you do something wrong. See documentation. I did directory in my theme called cyclonslider, and in that directory create different as example default2, then copy all content from template. Work’s good. * Thread Starter [Treebeard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malawimama/) * (@malawimama) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3635885) * I read through all the instructions yesterday before posting here. * As I mentioned, I created a folder in my theme named “cycloneslider” and copied the “thumbnails” template into that directory, so it looks like /mytheme/cycloneslider/ thumbnails * I do not see my template in the admin as a choice at all. * [Sxiperio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sxiperio/) * (@sxiperio) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3635906) * As i said, rename thumbnails directory with the different name, because i think they must be different. * [greentrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greentrain/) * (@greentrain) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3636068) * For me, even renaming and selecting my custom theme did not solve the problem( not recognizing the theme css file). My workaround is importing the custom cycloneslider css via the site’s style.css. * Just added… * `@import url(./cycloneslider/[customnamehere]/style.css);` * Not ideal, but workable. * [greentrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greentrain/) * (@greentrain) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3636081) * There is definitely a problem here. * I have since purchased a couple of the premium themes, and placed them in the appropriate location. They show up as options when editing the slideshow, and mods made to the template’s slider.php are working… it is just not using the template’s css files. * [CKatzman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ckatzman/) * (@ckatzman) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3636138) * Greentrain, please tell me the exact path of the file in which you put that import statement. I made my own post about this issue and someone gave me a link to the cyclone slider support forum, where I found a few users experiencing the same problem I’m having. You’ve got the closest thing to a solution I’ve found so far. * [hollowmyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollowmyth/) * (@hollowmyth) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3636143) * I’m having the same problem. I’ve duplicated the myrtle theme into a cycloneslider folder inside my theme and it is not loading that template at all, just loading the default styles. * One more thing, it looks like the plugin is loading all the styles for all the templates via the template-assets.php. I know they’re pretty small but that’s still a whole lot of extra stuff in there that doesn’t have to load. * [hollowmyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollowmyth/) * (@hollowmyth) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-recognizing-template/#post-3636144) * Ah, it looks like in the template-assets.php, it takes the minified version of the styles first if it exists. If there’s no minified file, it’ll take the unminified version and concatenate that with the rest. So, by deleting the style.min.css and script.min.js files from my new template it worked.
