Add code to function.php

    Hey,

    I’m trying to add some code the the function.php of my child theme, but I’m not sure how to do it the right way as everytime I try, the website crashes.

    I believe this code previously worked when I wasn’t using a child theme. I only noticed the other day that the custom code was removed during an update, so that’s why I now want to add it to the child theme’s function.php

    I want to hide a category so I add:

    action set_category_widget_parameters($args) {
    $args[‘exclude’] = ‘154’;
    return $args;
    }
    add_filter(‘widget_categories_args’,’set_category_widget_parameters’);

    This is the function.php of the child theme:

    <?php
    /* —————————————————————————-
    Newspaper 7 Child theme – Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme

    What can be overwritten via the child theme:
    – everything from /parts folder
    – all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc

    – the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:
    https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/

    */

    /* —————————————————————————-
    add the parent style + style.css from this folder
    */
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’, 1001);
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style(‘td-theme’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, ”, ‘6.1c’, ‘all’ );
    wp_enqueue_style(‘td-theme-child’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(‘td-theme’), ‘6.1c’, ‘all’ );

    }

    Where do I add it or is there something wrong with the code?

    Thanks!

    Hi rebah

    Please post code & markup between backticks (`) or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.

    function set_category_widget_parameters($args) {
$args[‘exclude’] = ‘154’;
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘widget_categories_args’,’set_category_widget_parameters’);

    action needed to be function

    I crash my site everytime too

    function add_parameter_to_url($content) {
	$transaction_id="";
	if(!empty($_GET['transaction_id'])) $transaction_id=$_GET['transaction_id'];

	$aff_sub="";
	if(!empty($_GET['aff_sub'])) $aff_sub=$_GET['aff_sub'];

	$aff_sub2="";
	if(!empty($_GET['aff_sub2'])) $aff_sub2=$_GET['aff_sub2'];

	$source="";
	if(!empty($_GET['source'])) $source=$_GET['source'];

	$affiliate_id="";
	if(!empty($_GET['affiliate_id'])) $source=$_GET['affiliate_id'];

	$content=str_replace('{transaction_id}',$transaction_id,$content);
	$content=str_replace('{aff_sub}',$aff_sub,$content);
	$content=str_replace('{aff_sub2}',$aff_sub2,$content);
	$content=str_replace('{source}',$source,$content);
$content=str_replace('{affiliate_id}',$affiliate_id,$content);
	//$content="testing";
	return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_parameter_to_url',20 );

    Ah ok tnx keesie I will use code from now on.

    Jacob, I added the code now without the site crashing, so that’s progress. But the code doesn’t do what I want it to do. The ‘Featured’ category (ID 154) is still showing in the footer widget. Any clue on a next step?

    This is the code is my child’s function.php now.

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', '6.1c', 'all' );
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '6.1c', 'all' );

function set_category_widget_parameters($args) {
$args[‘exclude’] = ‘154’;
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘widget_categories_args’,’set_category_widget_parameters’);
}

    imho, your new code should be outside of the ‘theme_enqueue_scripts’ function;
    also, your code has some invalid single quote characters, possibly from copy/paste of the code.
    the single quotes have to be just simply '

    corrected code (untested):

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', '6.1c', 'all' );
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '6.1c', 'all' );
}

function set_category_widget_parameters($args) {
$args['exclude'] = '154';
return $args;
}
add_filter('widget_categories_args','set_category_widget_parameters');
