Which plugin allows you to keep changes in the code after the update?

  • Hello,

    On my website I have a loaded orfeo theme, unfortunately I am not able to make a child theme for this theme because it is not possible (it does not appear on the list, it is supposedly a descendant from the hestia theme). I want to add some lines of code to the functions.php file because I want to delete some things from the current look. I read on the forums that you can add a plugin that will respond with the correct download of the update.

  • Hi there @lanter56,

    Maybe it’s easier to just run it in your own plugin instead and put the code in there. Its nothing more than a single php file to be honest.

    Thank you @jeroenrotty for a reply.

    Are you able to write something more about this plugin? What is it called and how to use it?

    Hi there,

    You make one yourself. But reading your topic again you said you want to do something with the frontend (looks) right? What code are you wanting to add where?

    Do you have the code?

    Maybe I will explain it again. I want to add a few lines of code to the function.php file such as:

    remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_show_product_images’, 20 );
    add_filter( ‘woocommerce_cart_item_thumbnail’, ‘__return_false’ );
    remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_subcategory_title’, ‘woocommerce_subcategory_thumbnail’, 10 );
    remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘woocommerce_template_loop_product_thumbnail’, 10 );
    remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘woocommerce_show_product_loop_sale_flash’, 10 );
    add_filter(‘woocommerce_product_related_posts_query’, ‘__return_empty_array’, 100);

    I’m afraid that if in the future wordpress introduces an update, my web site will be out.

    As I mentioned before, adding a descendant theme to orfeo is not possible.

    That’s why I’m looking for a different way to add these features and my website went correctly after the update.

    Yes. So just make a plugin file and put that in. Or if you don’t want that there’s like a plugin called ‘Code Snippets’ as well as that’s more easy.
    You can find the plugin over here:

    I installed the plugin and added these few lines to the code. The appearance has been modified, but after updating my website will be work?

    Hi,

    The code will be there as long as you are not going to remove it.

    Hello again

    I know I added the code. I’m just asking if all functions will work after updating the theme?

    Hi there,

    Sorry for that. Yes it will be working after a theme update. As long as the actions remains te same with a WooCommerce update it should all keep working.
