How can I change the theme to MkDocs Material?

Hi, I'm going to try to understand what you did. Please confirm the following steps:

• install material theme: pip install mkdocs-material
• search for base.html file in the theme files and copy it to themes_addons/ folder
• update mkdocs.yml to use material theme
• edit theme_addons/base.html
• serve mkdocs site

The changes were not reflected. Is that correct?

How the login alert work?

[otsuarez]

The browser will display the login alert box, when the server sends the headers for HTTP Basic authentication.

The site is served via php, so we're using php's header() function to handle authentication.

So, how can I change this form into a HTML form?
