Custom Titles are not showing up in FCP

I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook. I have some custom titles that I have been using in FCP on my Mac Mini for awhile, and I wanted to use them on my MacBook. I have put the folder with the titles in Movies > Motion Templates > Titles > Custom. But when I open FCP, the custom titles are not showing up. I'm fairly certain when I installed them on my Mini all I did was put them in my folder, and then they showed up in FCP. But that is not working on my MacBook. Am I missing a step?

Have you set the extension for the Motion Templates folder and the Titles folder to .localized?

Good instructions from fox_m about how to name the Motion Templates folders and subfolders.

I had not done that, and wasn't exactly sure what it meant, but figured it out and that did the trick! Thank you! I am quite sure I did not have to do that on my Mini, so not sure what the difference was but I appreciate the help and fast response. Thanks again!
