 * `wp-content > themes > your_theme > functions.php` is the default location of`
   functions.php` in any theme. If if is not there, just open a text editor and 
   write:
 *     ```
       <?php
       // Functions will go here, but this is just a comment
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * and then save the page as `functions.php`. Now write or copy-paste unlimited 
   functions you desire. But always write the functions within the php tags.
