s2member update question

Hello,
I have question about updating s2member plugin.
Let’s say I added some new functions to some files inside the s2member folder. Will I lose those functions when you will have a new update for the plugin? Does the new update replace the old files?

Hello there,

Yes I’m afraid that’s what happens, I believe if you add them to the mu-plugins folder, that way the always override the s2Member, just make sure to update those files every time there is a new version.

Although if you have to update them in order to make sure that s2Member works correctly, it rally is just worth it modifying the core and not using the mu-plugins folder.

Yeah, you’d lose your customizations. I’d use the must-use plugins directory too. /wp-content/mu-plugins/

Thank you!

You’re welcome. :)
