# Template Customisation Issue

* Hi there! Following the documentation, I have copied the ‘single-lesson.php’
file from the sensei plugin directory, into the active theme /sensei/ subfolder
to start customising it. However, before any changes have been made (the file
has been copied into /sensei/ but not edited) the html markup changes on the
individual lesson pages, like this (courtesy of diffchecker):
* ‘’
is removed
‘’ closing section
tag is removed ‘’ closing article tag is removed
* Why/how can this be happening? When the file override is happening from within
the them /sensei/ folder, what is likely to be detecting such an override and
changing the html as described?
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftemplate-customisation-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

* Hi there!
* There is also a `content-lesson.php` template that contains that markup, it’s
likely that Sensei is not loading that file but uses the theme’s content template.
* Themes can also declare support for Sensei (`add_theme_support( 'sensei' );`),
which stops it from loading its own templates via `Sensei_Unsupported_Themes`.

* Not sure I understood your reply properly!
* I have now added the theme support code to the functions file, but I still have
the issue that copying the single-lesson.php file from the sensei plugin directory
into the theme/sensei/ folder causes the html to change as described above.
* I have copied the content-lesson.php file into the theme/sensei/ folder and that
seems all fine, but it doesn’t sort the issue with single-lesson.php.
* Why would copying this single-lesson.php file be causing this?

* Hello,
* apologies, I misunderstood the role of `content-lesson.php`, that’s only used
for listing pages, not the single lesson page.
* I’ve tried out what you are doing and the markup didn’t change for me, the template
only affects the content. Are you sure you don’t have a `single-lesson.php` in
the main theme folder, outside the `/sensei/` directory? That would explain why
the theme’s singular template is being replaced.

* The only files in the active child theme directory, outside the /sensei/ folder,
with a similar name, are single.php and single-magazine.php.
* Lmk if you need access to the site to diagnose.

* Could you look for what template in your theme is providing the original markup?
Should be something like `>`, but the ‘entry
fix’ class could be easy to find too.
* If nothing works, you can also just add that markup to single-lesson or an other
template yourself that’s being loaded.
