Recommended Method for Customizing Template Files and Upgrading?

    Hi.

    Is there a recommended method for customizing template files, such as header, container, footer, etc, for upgrading Buddypress and/or WordPress?

    Do I replace the newest .php file into my child theme and append my custom code, after each upgrade version?

    Do the template files even change?

    Do most of you do the above or keep it as-is until things breaks during an upgrade?

    What’s the recommended method for Buddypres? Thank you.

    If you built a child theme and copied template file/s over from bp-default to your child theme folder, you’d like to see what template files have been changed from one version to another. e.g. BP 1.2.9 to BP 1.5 changelog you could see what template files were changed. Then change only the BP template file/s you have in your child theme which have been affected. Take extra time to watch out for changes in bp-default theme’s functions.php and _inc/css/default.css as well.
