Concrete5 5.7 Can't apply any Override

Permalink
Hello everyone.

I hope I'm not creating an duplicated question but I already tried read many old posts and the online documentation provided by Concrete5.org.
After the installation of the concrete5 CMS in my Apache web server without any content, only the core content and can not find anyway of overriding the Theme or this php file header_required.php, I only get successful results if I edit the core files but if I create the folder "elements" at the root of the website and I copy the file header_required.php to this new folder, concrete5.7 keeps ignoring this file, the same happen if I make a copy of the theme.

Is there any new way of doing this in concrete5.7.0.3 that is not documented?

Thank you very much for all the help.

There is no documentation for 5.7.x apart from one or two small references for addon developers. All documents that you will come across are for 5.6 and the file layout has changed in 5.7.

You now do not place overrides directly off of the [ROOT] directory anymore. You place them off of "[ROOT]/application". If you put your "header_required.php" in "[ROOT]/application/elements" it should work as expected.

Thank you very much for the help. Worked perfectly.

Just one more question, do you now or anyone know when the documentation for 5.7 will be ready?
Thank you again.
