FAQs

1. Why should we use require_once instead of get_template_part?

• First, because get_template_part is for... you guessed it, themes! Redux is designed to work with both themes and plugins.
• Second, read this.

2. Why shouldn't we edit sample-config.php in the plugin directory?

• Because sample-config.php will be replaced at each update of the plugin. You will lose all your effort
