Support » Fixing WordPress » Making modifications the right way?

  • Is there a guide showing the best way to make changes to plugins and widgets while not losing changes during upgrades? I have a child theme to copy files to to make theme changes, but I don’t know the best way to do this with non-theme files.

    I have a functions.php in my child theme, and I’ve read things about the ability to extend classes. I can edit PHP, but I’m not a developer and don’t understand the details of working with classes and other complex things.

  • If you need support with modifying/customizing plugins and widgets, you may need to contact their authors. Even if they permit such modifications, you will lose the modifications when the plugins are updated. In order to avoid it, you have to develop your own plugins or hire someone to develop such plugins for you.
