I'm a beginner at this. How do I make Bootstrap 4 cover example work correctly so I can edit it myself?
I've tried downloading the source, take bootstrap.min.css and .js and place them in my main folder, then View Page Source to get the template's code and pasted it into my index.html. All I see is plain Bootstrap text when I preview it... What steps am I missing?
You have to fix the paths in the html file.
<link href="../../dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
should be
<link href="bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
in case the css file and the index.html are in the same folder.
The same holds for bootstrap.min.js
at the bottom of the html.
Furthermore you need the cover.css
and save it in the same directory as the html.
