theme_dir does not work

[HelloGrayson]

Copied the bootstrap theme to a themes dir in the root of my project. updated theme_dir to point to themes. Keep getting the following error.

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: base.html

I've just verified this against a fresh install of 0.5.

For the way this ticket is phrased it sounds as if you've copied the bootstrap theme into themes/bootstrap, and then set theme_dir: themes. Instead you need the theme_dir to point at the theme directory itself, and not at a directory containing it.

I'm aware that I've probably explained that horribly, but there's a bit more docs on it now, so hopefully that'll help.

Here's my project layout from testing this now:

$ ls
custom     docs       mkdocs.yml
$ more mkdocs.yml 
site_name: My Project
theme_dir: custom
$ ls docs/
index.md
$ ls custom/
base.html    content.html css          fonts        img          js           nav.html     toc.html
