Because EM looks at these files first**/ themes/plugins/events-manager** will the fact they are there mean the new template files that have been modified by EM in the update forms/location/where.php forms/ event/location.php forms/event-editor.php forms/location-editor.php be ignored there fore i will need to delete old ones and replace the new ones after modifying and placing back in **/themes/plugins/events-manager** * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-55-changes/#post-4021386) * Anything within _/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/_ will be overwritten during a plugin upgrade if the upgrade includes a newer version of that file. * Events Manager won’t replace any file you’re using for EM if it’s outside _/wp- content/plugins/events-manager/_. * Thread Starter [mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/) * (@mrppp) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-55-changes/#post-4021400) * yes i know so because the upgrade coming (new version) has modified files in it that i have modified within my /themes/plugins/events-manager.folder these old files will be overiding the changes in the to be released update hence what do i do. * Thread Starter [mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/) * (@mrppp) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-55-changes/#post-4021465) * Ok will explain again what i,m rambling on about;-) * Currently i have version 5.4.4 I have modified files /where.php, location.php, event-editor.php, and location-editor.php all of which are in **/themes/plugins/ events-manager**. * When the latest update is released as i understand it where.php, location.php, event-editor.php, and location-editor.php are among the files that are updated in the new release. * So when i upgrade those files will be updated in /wp-content/plugins/events-manager/ but will not touch my modified files in **/themes/plugins/events-manager**. * OK, so i will have the updated files but my OLD 5.4.4 files in my **/themes/plugins/ events-manager** will over ride them, hence origianl point will these need deleting and me modify the updated files * Plugin Author [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-55-changes/#post-4021549) * in theory they should still work, so you could keep them as is. I think those are ok but we can’t check your specific situation on here. * I advise you compare these files and if you don’t have major modifications, use the new template and migrate your changes onto these new templates.
