The templating system for UpStream is much the same as for other plugins such as WooCommerce.

Template files can be found in **/wp-content/plugins/upstream/templates/**

To override the default templates for UpStream, you need to create a folder within your active theme called /upstream/. Within this folder you can add various files and other folders to overwrite the default templates.

The file and folder structure looks like this:

```
/upstream
	archive-project.php
	login.php
	single-project.php
  	/assets
    	/css
      		upstream-custom.css
  	/global
  		footer.php
  		header.php
  		sidebar.php
  		top-nav.php
  	/single-project
  		bugs.php
  		details.php
  		discussion.php
  		files.php
  		milestones.php
  		overview.php
  		tasks.php
```

You don’t need to add every file and every folder, just the ones that you want to override.

For example, to override the sidebar.php file, you simply copy the **wp-content/plugins/upstream/templates/global/sidebar.php** file into **wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/upstream/global/sidebar.php** and you can then edit this file as you please.

### Please note!

Do not edit the files within the core plugin itself as they are overwritten during the upgrade process and any customizations will be lost.
