Doubt About ShortCode in Functions.php – OverWritten if i Atualize theme!?

I’m back to use Speed Boster, its plugin, because of the CSS block render, and for better performance.

Ok, so I stopped using some plugins for this.

Now, I started to create ShortCodes, create my own scripts, and insert them into posts.

The question is:

The functions.php, located at:
/wp-content/themes/newspaper/functions.php

If I update WordPress, or Theme, will it be overwritten?

@alecaus yes for sure if you edit theme files and after you update theme you can lose all your edits(features)

Just create a simple plugin
use this example https://gist.github.com/reatlat/cd19243846a60ce531bb325d46013af1

Just create a folder simple-plugin in wp-plugins
and create one php file like you saw in Gist

Place any functions inside, and activate plugin.

PS: For sure you can rename simple-plugin to your own name

Thank you! @reatlat and Bogdan
