Because the files where edited by a script, I had to re-download and re-install everything from scratch. The customer had made some changes to the theme before and I had to figure out which file was different from the original theme, checked the file for some nasty evil scriptcode and moved the diff to the new file. If I had a child-theme to work with, the required time would be halved. | |

No, you don't have to create a child theme. But the benefits are worth the 5minutes of work here ;). Btw. get_template_part() is just a better include(). If you want to create a modified entry.php just copy the file, rename it (e.g. entry-myedits.php) and set the include to get_template_part('entry', 'myedits'); in p2_load_entry().
