b) Overwrite whatever is in the functions.php file
That would break almost all themes. Can you instead create a child theme and add your additions there?

So in other words, if we use this plugin we should cannot have a pre-existing functions.php file in the theme?
I just want to CONFIRM that point. Nothing else.

No. Why would you think that?

Because your original response was unclear.
So the correct answer is, the plugin will:
c) Append any new functions i.e. add to the hard coded functions.php file
Can you confirm?

Hello @twd,
Sorry for the delay in response.
The plugin works completely independently of the theme, so you can use it with any theme, and regardless of whether the theme does or does not have a functions.php file. The code you place on the plugin page will be entirely unaffected if you edit the contents of the theme’s functions.php file, or even completely change the theme.
Kind regards,
Arthur
