 * Hi there,
    I love how simple is this plugin yet doing the work perfectly. but
   I’m facing a problem with templating. It never worked for me.
 * What I usually do is, create a folder in my current child theme (active), and
   name the folder “simple_job_board”.
    then create a folder in that called templates
   then create anther folder in templates called v2 (i use the modern layout in 
   settings) then copy any file from the plugin’s v2 into the theme’s v2 folder.
   but it simply doesn’t work.
 * I tried just placing the file to be edited under simple_job_board parallel to
   the templates folder but it didn’t work either.
 * For example. here is a screenshot of the file “job-filters.php”, I have removed
   all content and typed hello world [https://prnt.sc/10gfcqg](https://prnt.sc/10gfcqg)
   
   but the page still looks the same: [https://prnt.sc/10gfipv](https://prnt.sc/10gfipv)
 * That’s just an example, but whatever I edit in the theme folder never take an
   effect on the jobs page
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftemplating-is-not-working-for-me%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thank you for the reply, it works now.
    I wonder why something essential like
   that is not mentioned in the documentation.

 * Hello [@isitegate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isitegate/),
 * Please accept our apology for the inconvenience.
 * Folder hierarchy is mentioned on the SJB page in which files have no template
   directory. Also, file header has the folder path.
 * We will explicitly mention removal of the “templates” directory in our documentation.
 * Feel free to reach us out if we can help you.
