# Child theme?

 * I like the “Plugin Based Content Box” and plugin search page for the frontpage
   results settings, but in order to fit with our theme I had to add a few divs 
   to:
 * cloud-search-template-default.php
    cloud-search-content-default.php
 * When the plugin updated, of course, those changes to the plugin’s core files 
   were overwritten and I lost the formatting. What’s the best way to make sure 
   that doesn’t happen again?

 * Hello, download the 1.6.4 release.. I’ve added a simple check for custom template..
   read in “Documentation -> Utilities” section.
    Add a file “templates/cloud-search-
   template.php” in your theme (copy the default one, then edit it). If the plugin
   found this file use it with your markup, otherwise the default one will be used.
   For the “content” template you can copy “cloud-search-content-default.php” file
   in your theme root, rename it in “cloud-search-content.php”, edit it and then
   set the “Content box type” to “Custom” with a value of “cloud-search-content.
   php”.
 * Should works correctly without losing data after every plugin update..

 * That helps for overriding cloud-search-template-default.php, but I also want 
   to override “cloud-search-content-default.php”, as I want the photos in a different
   place. Can that be added?

 * Hi Dave,
 * For the “content” template you can copy “cloud-search-content-default.php” file
   from the plugin “templates” folder in your theme root, rename it in “cloud-search-
   content.php”, edit it for changing the photo position and then set the “Content
   box type” to “Custom” with a value of “cloud-search-content.php” in the plugin“
   Settings” page.
 * I think it should works and solve your problem..
    Bye
