 * I have included the php file in my includes directory of my theme, but I still
   get this error when a function in that file is called:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_profile_show_error_messages() 
   in /home/exlogu5/public_html/wp-content/themes/classroom/template-profile.php
   on line 23
 * This is the code where the function is called:
    <?php update_profile_show_error_messages();
   update_profile_show_sucess_messages(); ?>
 * And this is the function located in <mytheme>/includes folder:
    function update_profile_show_error_messages(){
   if($codes = update_profile_errors()->get_error_codes()) { echo ‘<div class=”alert-
   danger form-message”>’; // Loop error codes and display errors foreach($codes
   as $code){ $message = update_profile_errors()->get_error_message($code); echo‘
   <span class=”error”>**‘ . __(‘Error’) . ‘**: ‘ . $message . ‘</span>‘; } echo‘
   </div>’; } }
 * I don’t have a general idea about why this error occurs and google didn’t help
   me so I appreciate any help! I cleared the cache thinking the file containing
   the code wasn’t updated, but the error still occurs.

 * what theme are you using?
 * is the functions file in the /includes/ folder included from functions.php of
   the theme?
