Hello Les,
Classes in Bootstrap 2 and Bootstrap 3 are different, so you understand that in the css of the template we styled the BS2 classes, when you convert this to BS3, the CSS rules for BS2 classes are no longer valid.

I just purchased the bs3 after watching this www.dmxzone.com/go/22366/convert-bootstrap-2-based-page-to-bootstrap-3

It doesn't mention there I cant do ther classes, I feel A bit let down to be honest....

Ive went into Dreamweaver now and tried to use some of the bootstrap starter templates to help me and when they convert to bs3 they also error out in the same way...

I was going to get the elements today but am wondering if I have misunderstood bs3 and its usefulness when I cant find any of your templates to use to get me going unless I want a sliding 1 page site or a portfolio?

Have I missed or overlooked something?

Hello Les,
the extension converts exactly the classes of a bootstrap 2 page to bootstrap 3.
It is the CUSTOM CSS STYLE that we used for styling BOOTSTRAP 2 CLASSES of this template in the CUSTOM CSS FILE that we added that CANNOT be converted!
The extension converts the page structure, it cannot know what CUSTOM CSS you are using in your own CUSTOM CSS FILES.
EXAMPLE:
Bootstrap 2 code:
<div class="span12 ">
gets converted to:
Bootstrap 3 code:
<div class="col-md-12 ..">

So in our CUSTOM CSS FILE the following rule is no longer styling it...
.span12 {
someproperty: value;
}

The starter BS2 templates can be converted with absolutely no problem, as there is no any custom css added...

Also - the bootstrap 3 extension main feature is that it can be used to build a page layout from scratch.. as a web designer / developer are you always relying on templates to build your customers' websites?

Both of the links you provided are not active. And i am not saying you used custom css, but the custom css that we applied to the template is styling the classes using the bootstrap 2 classes!
