Hey guys. I want to make some .php edits but I don’t really want to make a child theme. If I use a php plugin to enter the code, that should survive a theme update right?
For example, I have a plugin that allows me to edit the header/footer of my html file. When I turn the plugin off, the changes go away and when I turn it on, the changes come back. That hints to me that the plugin is actively overlaying the code onto the file and not embedding and leaving it there permanently. That makes sense too because it I wanted to remove that code from the header/footer, but the code was already copied into the actual hmtl file, the plugin likely wouldn’t be able to remove it.
So I’m thinking it’s the same with a PHP plugin. I can make PHP changes that will go away when I deactivate the plugin and if that’s the cause, the plugin should just overlay that PHP code change to the new PHP file after updating the theme, right?
Also, I want to add social media share icons to my footer instead of the social media accounts links that are readily available in customizer
Will this plugin be best? Or is there a simpler way in xtheme to accomplish this?

A child theme is needed if your going to do customizations. See https://community.theme.co/kb/customization-best-practices/.
You can use other social plugins but integration of it would be outside the scope of our support.
Thanks.
