    Hi, I’ve tried to customize jetpack plugin adding this code for changing share social buttons

    function jptweak_remove_share() {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display',19 );
    remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display',19 );
    if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_Likes' ) ) {
        remove_filter( 'the_content', array( Jetpack_Likes::init(), 'post_likes' ), 30, 1 );
    }
}

add_action( 'loop_start', 'jptweak_remove_share' );

    but when I load the functions.php modified file it gives back a blank white page.
    The same happened when I tried to add this code

    if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
    $content_width = 800;

    for customizing galleries width.
    I can’t understand where is the mistake.
    Someone can help me, please?

    I’ve used a php syntax check too and the result is “No syntax errors detected in CODE”

    Hi,

    I’ve had this happen to me. Try retyping the code manually instead of copy/paste, that might work.

    Thanks for your help, but I’ve tried to retype manually all code strings and the result is just the same: when I upload the new functions.php code the webpages become all blank white.

    Ok, can you post your whole functions.php file somewhere, like on https://pastebin.com and share the link with me? I’ll take a look.

    I’ve pasted my php code here
    Thank you very much!

    PS
    At the bottom you’ll find jetpack code too. That is:`function jptweak_remove_share() {
    remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘sharing_display’,19 );
    remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘sharing_display’,19 );
    if ( class_exists (‘Jetpack_Likes’ ) ) {
    remove_filter( ‘the_content’, array( Jetpack_Likes::init(), ‘post_likes’ ), 30, 1);
    }
    }
    add_action( ‘loop_start’, ‘jptweak_remove_share’ );`

    You seem to have a bit of an issue with the php opening and closing braces at the end of the file where you added the Jetpack code. Try this version: https://pastebin.com/E73Muni0

    I think that will work, but do let me know if it still doesn’t.

    Great! Now it works ??
    I have to say that I’m using a child theme and so when I uploaded functions.php in its folder probably there was a conflict with functions.php file parent theme. I’ve uploaded the functions.php that you have kindly prepared the first time in child folder and the result was just the same: blank white. Then I decided to try in parent theme folder and it went perfectly! Now I locate it in child, just for not forgetting my customization ??
    I really appreciated your help.
    Thanks a lot
