nuked my functions.php

In theory, this plugin seems like a good idea. In practice, not so much.

I have a premium theme on a site and gave access to that theme’s support team to help resolve a minor issue. They installed this plugin and ‘added’ code to my functions.php. When they did this, they deleted my entire custom (child-theme) functions.php and replaced it with their 3 lines of code to aid me with the issue. Glad to have the theme’s help and code, but it nuked my functions.php.

Then the theme “help” said the functions.php was blank and they didn’t delete anything. I’m sure they thought that’s what happened because this plugin overwrites (does not edit) the functions.php. In reality, they deleted 2 months of work because of this plugin that they installed.

I do not recommend this plugin if you have a custom functions.php that you would like to keep. I also do not recommend giving a premium theme support team access to install plugins.
