Hi there!
I really like your theme and I enjoy creating my website with it, so thank you for that.

I have a simple question for you: where is the safest place to add php functions into the theme?
There are some php functions that I need to grab from there: https://wpgridbuilder.com/add-ons/map-facet/ the developer told me to modify functions.php from the child theme but I wanted to ask you first if there is a better way with Newspaper.

I would like this script to not be deleted every time I update the theme.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Adrien

Hello Adrien!

I recommend you also to build a child theme and add them there, because any changes you make in the theme files after update will be overwritten and you have to make the changes again.

Thanks for your kind words!

Thank you Bettina!
I have never used child theme before, if I modify the function.php there, what will happen every time I will update the theme?

Thank you!

Hello!

How I said above if you modify the theme files after update the changes will be overwritten and you have to make the changes again. Better save the code somewhere and then apply it again after update.

Thank you!
