    Can we not make this use custom page templates? It seems to ignore them when logged in. It displays with the proper page template for anyone not logged in.

    Hi! I’d like to help you but could you please be more specific? The Friends Plugin uses a Custom Post Type (CPT) but I am not sure if you mean this.

    Could you share (relative) URLs and describe which behavior you see there? Thanks!

    Sure it defaults to https://www.hotelblues.com/friends/

    Which is fine for anyone not logged in. But this is what I see:

    I want to be able to make this use my terrible cobbled together WordPress theme.

    Ok understood! You can easily do this and override each of the templates in https://github.com/akirk/friends/tree/main/templates by just adding it to your theme under a friends/ directory.

    So, for example to display “hello” instead of the logged in /friends/ page, you’d create a file containing “hello” in the friends/frontend/index.php file.

    So for you specifically you can create a file wp-content/themes/hotelblues/friends/frontend/index.php and it will override that template.

    Since this is not very useful, you’d be best off by copying the respective file from https://github.com/akirk/friends/tree/main/templates/ and then start your customization from there.

    Thank you. I will look at that and see what I can do.
