Hey all, quick question… we have a child theme that we did quite a bit of customization too. It helps so much to keep updating the theme seamless. Is it possible to do child themes for plugins too? For example, we have a tweak in a job board plugin php file that restructures the RSS feed that it generates. We need to keep it that, and the plugin updates pretty regularly. Is it possible to leverage child themes for plugins? And if so… how?

I would think it would come down to the hooks the plugin puts in place for developers to use to modify the functionality that would persist after updates.
No. Plug-ins are universal. You use a child theme to customize a parent theme. Some plug-ins, ie. The Events Calendar, allow you to override plugin templates and settings by copying those files into your theme or child theme.
