 * Hi – my client has a custom field (via ACF) that they’d like to display in the
   widget output. Am I able to copy widget.php into my child theme to customise 
   it? Does it need to be in a certain folder?

 * It is not possible to use the widget.php in another location. To circumvent overwriting
   with newer versions you can set the plugin version header and the stable tag 
   to a very high number.
 * I created another post list plugin, and that considers custom fields. You can
   select the desired custom field, give it a label for the list and specify the
   position in a list item. I recommend to try it. If it should not work as desired
