I want to make some changes to the online users widget and I want to know which php files renders it. Basically add some colors to the different profile types, but I can't find that php file to edit for the widget! Is it a core wordpress file or a wpforo file?
You need to modify the wpForo_Widget_online_members class, it can be found in the wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-includes/functions-template.php file.
However, you'll need to keep these changes, in a case to not lose it during the upgrade process.
Thanks!
Is there a way to create a folder with overrides so my changes aren't lost during an upgrade?

You can not use both. wpForo loads either the core template file or your customized template file from the WordPress theme /wpforo/ folder.
To update:
I know I can create overrides for theme files like this:
https://wpforo.com/docs/root/forum-themes/theme-customization/
But I want to create an override for other wpforo files like the above functions-template.php

In this case you should use hooks to change something. This is a core file, this is not a template fie to customize.
Thanks!
