 * We are running a network of sites basing them off a large amount of themes, which
   we then customize per client.
 * There is a “Custom CSS” Plugin that lets us override the “style.css” for each
   one, so we can have
    Theme A – (all red stuff) – for client one, and Theme A –(
   all blue stuff)- for client two.
 * This is great! So we don’t need to change any actual files regarding Theme A!
 * HOWEVER, I need to know if there is a way to edit .PHP files as well, without
   changing them for EVERY instance of Theme A.
 * If I want Theme A for clients one and two, is there a way to get them each a 
   separate (or override, like custom CSS) “Featured.PHP” or any php file for that
   matter?

 * Not really, no. You’d have to make a child theme with a special featyred.php 
   for that.

 * That’s what I was afraid of, but thanks for the confirmation 🙂
