Does theme customization support changes to import code?

    I successfully edited the theme using the instructions on https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/ (specifically to make the list view show the_content() rather than the_excerpt() and to omit the_excerpt() in the day view) but I was having trouble getting a modification to the CSV importer to work.

    The code is buried much deeper (lib/io/csv/admin_views and lib/io/csv/classes) so I tried including those deep trees in my theme subdirectory, but it didn’t seem to take. Is it possible to alter the plugin’s behavior this way or would I need to modify the code directly in lib/io/csv/*?

    You’re right, it’s not possible to override core code in that way (only templates work in that fashion).

    While I’m not sure exactly what sort of change you are attempting with regards to the CSV importer (and it’s likely beyond the level of support we offer here), I would stress that altering core plugin code in this way is a risky strategy and one we tend not to recommend.

    That’s not to say don’t do it, just, do it with care 🙂
