#WordPress nerds - I've a tricky problem that I can't find the answer to.
I want to patch a single PHP file inside a 3rd party plugin.
I can overwrite the file, and my new code works.
But when the plugin is updated, the original file replaces my patched version.
I've tried changing the permissions of the file to read-only, but that doesn't work.
Is there any sensible way to make my changes permanent?
