There are some extremely helpful plugins out there and we use them to save us from developing them ourselves, or we are only theme developers and dont have the ability to create our own (certainly true in my case).
However when a plugin needs slight modification, what is the best way to do it and to avoid updates from overwriting your changes?
-
Copy the plugin and rename it as my own?
-
Set the version to something really high so that it is very unlikely to detect an update?
