 * Hello,
    I have to modify a php file, located in the folder of the plugin.
 * To prevent my modifications from theme coming updates, I think I have to move/
   copy this
    modified file into my theme (child) folder. But I do not know, where
   to place it. Do I have to create a special folder or should I place this file
   onto the “root” level of my child theme’s folder?
 * Thanks
    Maerin

 * If you edit a plugin, set its version to something like “999.99” so it won’t 
   get updated. Then, make sure you manually watch that plugin, so if there’s an
   update, you’ll figure out how to update your copy.
