   have problems when this plug-in will be updated?
 * Thanks

 * Some plugins provide hooks that you can you use to customize them. This customization
   code would go into your functions.php file and so wouldn’t get overwritten when
   the plugin is updated. You’d need to review the plugin’s documentation to see
   what, if any, hooks are available.

 * To customize a theme without worrying about future updates (or at least worrying
   less about them), you need to look into creating a child theme. This basically
   allows you to use everything the parent theme provides and to customize parts
   of your choosing.
 * There are many tutorials. Here’s one from WordPress.org:

 * Я обновила плагин Yoast SEO.
    В новой версии этого плагина 3.0.6 нет мета-описания.
   Как мне настроить плагин, чтобы мета-описание было?
