I wanted to override the default templates, so I followed the instructions as provided:

I created the userpro folder in my-theme. i.e: my-theme/usepro.
Then I placed the template in that folder like this: my-theme/userpro/login.php.

However, when viewing the page, I get the following error:

I did some research myself, and is seems that in shortcode-main.php you are using the following method: get_template_directory(). Because I am using a child-theme, this method will return the path to the parent theme. Could you make use of get_stylesheet_directory(), so it will get the path to the child theme, if a child theme is active.

I’m running a child theme as well.

This is a super simple change that shouldn’t take more than 2 seconds using search and replace.

This will ensure that the stylesheets are loading on the front end from the proper directory.
