 * This is actually a simple question in regards to plugins in general. I have been
   developing websites using WordPress for over a year and have had to edit some
   plugins to fit the our clients specific needs. Now with doing this we have basically
   told our clients not to update these plugins as they will not function properly
   if they do as we edited the core of them.
 * Is there another way to edit plugins so that they can be updated, sort of how
   child theme development works?
