SteveMTNOParticipant
I don’t know what that means. Can you give me an example?
Thanks,
SteveMTNO
SteveMTNOParticipantIs there a recommended way for modifying the other plugin files, so that things won’t get overwritten during an update?
SteveMTNOParticipantWhat about \includes\class-fep-form.php? Is there a way to add that to the child theme too?
SteveMTNOParticipantPerfect – works great! Thank you so much for your help!
What other elements of this plugin can I modify in the child theme like this? Or is it just the files in the /templates folder? CSS files, maybe?
SteveMTNOParticipantThanks again for the quick response, shamim!
Unfortunately, I’m at work right now and can’t test this out. 🙁
So, if I understand this correctly:
– installing the plugin in /wp-content/plugins/ will allow me to use the plugin with any them that I have installed
– and copying/modifying files in the /wp-content/themes/spacious-child/front-end-pm/ folder will let me make changes exclusive to the “spacious-child” theme, without affecting the source files in the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
Is this correct?
And one more quick question… Can I put other updated files into the /wp-content/themes/spacious-child/front-end-pm/ too, or is that limited to template files?
Thanks again for all your help!

SteveMTNOParticipantThanks for the quick reply, shamim.
So, just a couple more quick questions:
– Should the complete plugin still be installed in /wp-test/wp-content/plugins/ (so that it can be used with any installed theme)?
– Should /wp-test/wp-content/themes/spacious-child/front-end-pm/ only contain “viewmessage.php” (and any other files to be changed in the child them only) without all of the other subfolders, etc?
SteveMTNOParticipantThat’s what I tried to do, but it didn’t work.
I’m using a parent/child theme (the parent is /spacious, the child is /spacious-child
The parent theme is setup as follows:
/wp-test/wp-content/plugins/front-end-pm-proThe child theme is setup as follows:
/wp-test/wp-content/themes/spacious-child/wp-content/plugins/front-end-pm/templatesI’m guessing the problem with the child theme is a pathing issue.
In my parent theme, i’m using a site plugins folder & this works:
/wp-test/wp-content/plugins/bc-plugins (bc is the name of the site)I tried copying the contents of viewmessage.php to fep-plugin.php, and then activating it as a separate plugin, but got a fatal error.
Seems like this should be an easy thing to do..
Thanks for your help,
SteveMTNO
