    I need to edit a couple of files in the plugin php code.

    Can I setup a directory structure under my theme directory,identical to the plugin directory, so that I can place the edited files there and the plugin picks them up. Then when there is a new release of the plugin it doesn’t overwrite my changes.

    i have done this with many other plugins but this one does not seem to work that way.

    @joefinnerty_123,

    Can you please let us know what changes you want that requires you to edit plugin’s php files?

    We haven’t tried that. So, I’m not sure if it works.

    Can you let us know for which other plugins you have done it? Are they available freely on WordPress.org? If so, can you give us names so we can check it.
