Developers have spent countless hours working on a plugin that seems to be built just for you, just for this moment. If only it wouldn’t….

This talk will cover the following topics:

Tips for diving into a large codebase (like Woo or Gravity Forms)
Hooks
Filters
Overwriting Functions
Modifying Returned content
Requesting a change to a plugin
