How to edit template files and keep them after plugin update?

Version 2 of the Refer a friend plugin was completely written from scratch and now ships with the easy-to-edit front-end templates. So, if you want to edit HTML markup, or some text on any of the front-facing screens of the plugin, such as the My Account tab, product RAF tab, shortcode look, or even emails that are sent via share or to referrals when they get a coupon reward, you can do so easily by following the guide below:

1. Create wpgens-raf folder inside your active theme.

2. Go to the /wpgens-refer-a-friend-premium/templates/ directory and copy files from this directory to newly made wpgens-raf folder inside your theme.

You can copy only the files that you want to edit, but keep in mind that you need to follow the structure, so email templates must be inside the emails folder as it is in the templates directory.

That’s it.

You can now safely edit files from within your theme and you don’t need to worry that they will be overwritten once a new update comes. It acts exactly like WooCommerce templates do.

If you don’t see the templates folder, that means you are using an older version of the plugin, update it to 2.0.x
