How to Modify the Plugin Code

< 1 min read

How to Customize:
  • To change layouts — override templates in your child theme (guide: https://estatik.net/docs/template-overriding-example/).
  • To change functionality — use a child theme or a code snippets plugin (like Code Snippets).
  • You can also use plugin hooks and filters to make changes safely.
About Updates:
  • Changes in plugin files will be lost after updates.
  • Changes in a child theme or custom plugin will stay.
  • If you update from version 3 to 4 — most custom code must be turned off or adjusted.

 

:warning: Important!

Don’t edit plugin files directly — updates will erase your changes.

 

:white_tick:  Important Note on Updates:

  • If you modify the plugin’s core files directly, all your customizations will be lost after an update.
  • If your customizations are done via a child theme or a custom sub-plugin, they will remain safe after updates.
  • Please also note that when updating from version 3 to version 4, some customizations may need to be disabled or adapted, as the structure of the plugin has significantly changed.
