    Hi,

    I want to change some things in the plugin, for example the measurements. I’ve succesfully changed the wording in “class.cooked-measurements.php” but this is not the best way to do it since it will be replaced when updating the plugin, right?

    A comment says “Use the “cooked_measurements” filter to add your own measurements”. How do I do that? Where should I paste my edited code to override the plugins’ wording? Is it in my child themes function.php?

    Br,
    Benjamin

    You would place this code either in your theme’s functions.php file (easy option) or create a custom plugin that includes the code (best option):

    add_filter( 'cooked_measurements', 'custom_cooked_measurements', 10, 1 );
function custom_cooked_measurements( $measurements ){
	$measurements['a'] = array(
		'singular_abbr' => 'a',
		'plural_abbr' => 'aa',
		'singular' => 'custom a',
		'plural' => 'custom a plural'
	);
	$measurements['b'] = array(
		'singular_abbr' => 'b',
		'plural_abbr' => 'bb',
		'singular' => 'custom b',
		'plural' => 'custom b plural'
	);
    return $measurements;
}
