 * Hello,
 * I am currently running a login plugin located in the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
   My website is dual-lingual and because the plugin is only in english, I have 
   wrote an “if statement” script to change the text to french based on if the user
   clicks the french language on the website.
 * I would just like to extend this plugin and because of updates, I wanted to put
   this altered .php file into my themes folder so that my theme will add this to
   its functions but WordPress is not acknowledging this new change. Is there something
   I am doing wrong? Please give me insight, thanks!
