How to override functions.php code that is not wrapped up in a function

  • In my theme’s (Avada) functions.php file there is some code that is not contained within a function. For example:

    // Initialize social icons setup
require_once( get_template_directory() . '/framework/class-social-icons.php' );
global $social_icons;
$social_icons = new Avada_SocialIcons();

    I’d like to remove unnecessary code from functions.php to increase performance. How do I do this when this code is not wrapped up in a function?

  • The code you posted above is probably not unnecessary unless you are trying to break your theme.

    Try doing this to Avada’s function.php and embrace the chaos:

    // Initialize social icons setup
//require_once( get_template_directory() . '/framework/class-social-icons.php' );
//global $social_icons;
//$social_icons = new Avada_SocialIcons();
