How to change or override plugin templates?

Plugin template files can be found in the /wp-content/plugins/portfolio/templates/ directory. You can edit these files in an upgrade-safe way using overrides. Copy them into a directory with your theme named /bws-templates .

Example: To override the single portfolio template, please copy /wp-content/plugins/portfolio/templates/portfolio-post.php to wp-content/themes/your-theme/bws-templates/portfolio-post.php .

Do not edit these files in the plugin’s core directly as they are overwritten during the upgrade process and any customizations will be lost.

I’m getting the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_post_thumbnail_id()

This error means that your theme doesn’t support thumbnails, in order to add this option please find the file ‘functions.php’ in your theme and add the following strings to this file: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘theme_setup’ );

function theme_setup() { add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); }

After that your theme will support thumbnails and the error will disappear.
