 * Hi, I’m working on an e-commerce site using the woocommerce plugin and I would
   like to make some customizations to its functions, namely ones relative to breadcrumbs.
 * I’ve found tutorials but they all deal with using a child theme’s function.php
   file. This only seems to apply if one is using an Woocommerce-enabled Wootheme.
 * I am using my own theme, coupled with a child theme but that doesn’t apply as
   the functions I want to customize are relative to the woocommerce plugin directory.
 * Is there any way to create a “child-theme” for the woocommerce plugin itself?
   A way to make code modifications in a non-destructive manner?
 * Thanks,
    Rene

 * This is the snippet I’m working with right now:
 * add_filter( ‘woocommerce_breadcrumb_defaults’, ‘jk_change_breadcrumb_home_text’);
   
   function jk_change_breadcrumb_home_text( $defaults ) { // Change the breadcrumb
   home text from ‘Home’ to ‘Shop Home’ $defaults[‘home’] = ‘Shop Home’; return 
   $defaults; }
 * add_filter( ‘woocommerce_breadcrumb_home_url’, ‘woo_custom_breadrumb_home_url’);
   
   function woo_custom_breadrumb_home_url() { return ‘new url’; }
