 * I have made a modification to the ‘wp-useronline’ plugin which simply adds a 
   line at the top of my page. The change I have made is to a file called ‘template-
   tags.php’ and is as shown in the image below.
 * I would like to make this modification in ‘functions.php’ instead so that future
   updates do not impact it. Can someone please explain how I might accomplish this?
 * Thanks in advance…
