Quick question on wordpress upgrades

    When you do a wordpress upgrade, is it just wp-includes and wp-admin that gets upgraded, I only say this because I would like to edit the wp-signup.php and wp-activate.php in the root. Do these files get updated when there is an upgrade?

    Thanks in advance

    First of all, I would not recommend making any changes to core files. What ever it is you’re trying to do, I would either build a plugin or just add the functions to your functions.php file. You can use hooks and actions to overwrite default functionality or add new functionality.

    To my best knowledge, yes all files get overwritten except the wp-config.php file, when you upgrade.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the advice. I will not edit those files then. I only have a few snippets of code for my functions.php child themes which is all I need and the rest of my edits I done in the css files. The sign up and activate files I just wanted to remove some text that was easy to do directly on those files.
