Replace a piece of code in widget using hooks

    Hi, I’m totally new with hooks in WP so I am probably asking for something simple, but in the vast amount of information on hooks on the internet I just can seem to find what I’m looking for. What I’m trying to do is simply replace a piece of code within a php file that comes with the theme.

    I want to replace this:

    <?php if ( $show_popular_posts ) : ?>
	<li><a href="#tab-popular"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Popular', 'Avada' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( $show_recent_posts ) : ?>
	<li><a href="#tab-recent"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Recent', 'Avada' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

    with this:

    <?php if ( $show_recent_posts ) : ?>
	<li><a href="#tab-recent"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Recent', 'Avada' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( $show_popular_posts ) : ?>
	<li><a href="#tab-popular"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Popular', 'Avada' ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

    How can I make this specific for just one particular PHP file?

    Well, they state this is a modification to their theme and they do not support that. Using child-theme files won’t work for this file type as it is considered a core-file, and thus they pointed me to using hooks to achieve this: “We have introduced hooks, actions and filters so that aspects of the themes core code can be customised using a child theme and in due course we will be expanding on that too.”

    But your right I’ll revert it back to them how I’m’supposed to handle this in Hooks then.
