Can I override Benecaster’s templates?

Yes. Benecaster follows standard WordPress template override conventions. Copy any template from the plugin’s templates/ directory into a benecaster/ directory in your child theme and it will be used instead. Templates for episode archive, single episode, subscriber account, and feed components are all overrideable. Full developer documentation on the override path, available variables, and template parts is in the Template Overrides developer reference.

The file-copy override path is theme-specific — files in a custom plugin’s directory won’t be picked up. If you’re working from a plugin rather than a theme, use Benecaster’s action and filter hooks to modify template output. Most template sections have output filters and before/after action pairs. See the hook reference for available hooks.
