There is a phtml file from a module that I want to override in my theme. The path to the file is: \vendor\mageplaza\magento-2-social-login\view\frontend\templates\form\social.phtml.

I am trying to figure out what the path should be to my override social.phtml file but I am finding it confusing. What is the correct path I should put my file?

You can override social.phtml by below path

app/design/frontend/YourTheme/Vendor/Mageplaza_SocialLogin/templates/form/social.phtml

Example :

As per Magento-2 if you want to override vendor module templates then you need to follow an example

Vendor Module : mageplaza\magento-2-social-login

You need to make this directory in your theme like below

app/design/frontend/YourTheme/Vendor/ : Mageplaza_SocialLogin

and module view templates \view\frontend\templates\form\social.phtml is under in theme templates folder like : templates/form/social.phtml

Finally your template path is : 

app/design/frontend/YourTheme/Vendor/Mageplaza_SocialLogin/templates/form/social.phtml

  • How would I have worked that out? The path and names are structured differently, what is the rule you followed to get the correct path?

  • You need to follow magento-2 theme rules.

    That is not a helpful answer. Your path does not seem to match, you captitalized some letters and removed hypen. I cannot find any documentaion saying to do that

We can use the same format what we use to override core Magento files into our theme.

Under your theme folder, Create a directory with name Package_Module. So, in your case, Please create a directory named Mageplaza_SocialLogin

Put the files following the same path what the base module have and paste the template files under the template directory. It will look like following:

app/design/frontend/YourTheme/Vendor/Mageplaza_SocialLogin/templates/form/social.phtml

Please refresh cache to get the changes.

  • where do you get the module name? The path says "mageplaza\magento-2-social-login" not "Mageplaza_SocialLogin". Did you get that from somewhere else?

  • mageplaza is your Package name, magento-2-social-login in your module name. while overriding the files to our theme, you have to follow this standard, use camel case format. So it will change to Mageplaza_SocialLogin. I took reference from github. github.com/mageplaza/magento-2-social-login/blob/master/…
