    Hi, I wish to edit some templates and translations (The Dutch translation). How do I set the plugin up in my theme as a child-plugin? So my edits don’t get overwritten when I update the plugin?

    I tried copying the plugin over to my theme, but that doesnt seem to work.
    theme-child/registrations-for-events-calender/lang
    theme-child/registrations-for-events-calender/templates

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Menno1987,

    Sorry for any confusion! To change the language file, you shouldn’t need to create a child theme. What most people do is use a translation management plugin like Loco Translate. Then you can set the “Messaging Source” setting to “Translations”:

    Currently there isn’t a way to overwrite the plugin’s files in the theme folder. What were you hoping to change? I might be able to help!
