 * Hello!
 * I have to change some of the markup generated by the plugin, but I cannot seem
   to find any hooks or settings for that. For example, I’d like to remove the a-
   Tag from .dwqa-date and remove the public/private-dropdown (which does not seem
   to be affected by my WP backend settings at all). I’d love to change these things
   without hacking the plugin, because I want it to remain upgradable.
 * Thanks for your answer(s) in advance! 🙂

 * Hey,
    you can change the DW Q&A template by creating a new folder called “dwqa-
   templates” in your theme folder (/wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/), and copy
   all the .php files from “/wp-content/plugins/dw-question-answer/inc/templates/
   default/” to the new folder. After that, you can modify/change all template files
   without any effect on the Q&A plugin. Regards 🙂
