Title: Add code to function.php Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Add code to function.php * Resolved [rebah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rebah/) * (@rebah) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-code-to-functionphp/) * 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: * > /* —————————————————————————- 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: > [http://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/](http://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!

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’); } ``` * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-code-to-functionphp/#post-7662199) * 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() .
