Magento 2 Override third party module block file

Question

I am working a Magento2 project and I have installed a third party module magefan/module-blog which is used for manage Blog/post.This module is installed in Magento Vendor folder.

path is magento/vendor/magefun/module-blog .

I have a custom requirement and some changes/updated in block files.Since module is exist in Magento vendor folder so we can't directly changed in this module.Hence we require to override file

/var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magefan/module-blog/Block/Category/view.php

in

/var/www/html/magento2/app/code

folder.I don't have idea how to override particular that file.

if anyone know about it.Please help me.

• AbsarAkram: The for attribute in preference tab will not accept .php . You should just use ThirdPartyVendor\ThirdpartyModule\Block\File
