Wordpress Plugin Overrides

Yea I've done it 3 times so far and I've lost my template every time haha - soooo I'll wait to see if there is a workaround that you guys have for me. I'm not sure what else I can do other than editing the plugins files directly, but they'll get overwritten on the first plugin update.

I also receive this error frequently during saves or changes to a template. Dreamhost can not see anything wrong with the server/hosting settings and the ONLY plugins I have installed are Event Calendar and the Themler plugin.

Hi,

1. When you edit the theme folder after exporting, please note that all the changes will be overridden on the next theme save/publish or update operation. As I understand, you have already seen this problem. I'm not sure what to suggest you. Maybe altering the plug-in code will be better as probably they do not update the plug-in code so many times as you update the theme.
2. Regarding the 404 issue. It may be indeed related to the plug-ins or permissions. So try to switch your WP plug-ins and run Themler. If that is not the case, then also check the permissions, should be like in this article:

So there's no workaround to this other than "dont update the plugin"? lol - has nobody else run into this issue? Its fairly common to use the template to override third party plugins even in Joomla as well as wordpress.

Hi,

We provide the tool to override some CSS code or also some other functionality if there is no need to insert the code into some specific location. So when you need to override some CSS, JS or PHP code, you can insert it under the Home >> Settings >> Additonal CSS / Additional HEAD HTML / Additional CMS Code correspondingly.

Sincerely,
Hella

I feel your pain — Themler can be finicky with overrides! I had a similar issue while customizing a plugin, and it kept wiping my changes. Have you tried using a child theme instead? That way, your overrides stay safe even if Themler acts up. Speaking of precision and reliability, this reminds me of the Damascus knives from Jun Knives — each one is hand-forged with flawless craftsmanship, just like how we wish our themes would behave! Their blades never fail, whether in the kitchen or outdoors. Maybe we need that same level of perfection in our WordPress setups!

Starting your day with a clear intention can dramatically improve focus and mental clarity. It is a simple practice that helps align your actions with your goals. Rather stockbroker than drifting through the day on autopilot, setting an intention grounds you in purpose. This can be anything from being more patient, staying productive, or simply choosing to remain calm in stressful situations. As the day progresses, you will be more likely to act in line with your intention, resulting in greater personal satisfaction.
