    PLEASE HELP! I have just tried to amend code in the function.php file which has given me the error

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_template_directory() in /home/reusable/re-wrap-it/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5

    I restored the to original file and the error is still coming up.

    I need to get a clients website back up ASAP so any help would be most appreciated.

    The file consists of the following:

    <?php
    // ==================================================================
    // Included libraries
    // ==================================================================
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/ace_functions.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/ace_import_export.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/ace_options.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/ace_theme_customize.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/ace_updates.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/custom_post.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/custom_widgets.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/meta_boxes.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/modules.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/quicktags.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/shortcodes.php’ );
    require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/widgets.php’ );

    Thank you.

    you seem to have edited the wrong file by mistake – don’t edit any files within the /wp-includes/ directory.
    to restore /wp-includes/functions.php to its origina state of wp4.5.2, get the code possibly from https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/functions.php

    were you aiming for functions.php of your theme, or any other functions.php file in your theme’s folders?
    what are you trying to achieve?

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for coming back to me. Yes, I was aiming for the theme functions.php. I was looking to insert the following code to remove product category count.

    /*
    * Removes products count after categories name
    */
    add_filter( ‘woocommerce_subcategory_count_html’, ‘woo_remove_category_products_count’ );

    function woo_remove_category_products_count() {
    return;
    }

    Where in the specified file would I find the right code? I’m using version 4.4.2. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Michael,

    I have managed to restore using a previous ‘original’ file.

    Thanks for your help.

    [ignore this – I was typing while you resolved the problem]

    this is a wp4.4 link with the code of the broken file https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.4-branch/wp-includes/functions.php

    first step, if you haven’t done yet, is to restore the broken functions.php in the /wp-includes/ folder.

    what theme exactly are you editing?

    are you using a child theme?

    functions.php of your theme should be in
    /wp-content/themes/yourthemename/functions.php
