Adding Code to functions.php in Child Theme

  • Hi,
    I’ve added a snippet of code to my functions.php file in my Twenty-Twelve Child Theme, but it has come up as a parse error. I know I’m doing something wrong, can anyone advise?
    I’ve added it like this and saved…

    <?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}
?>

<?php if ( is_search() || is_archive() || is_author() || is_tag() || is_home() ) : // Only display Excerpts ?>

    Many thanks in advance,

    Stuart

  • Hi,

    You are missing the end of If tag.
    Please use the code below and see if it works for you.

    <?php
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

    }
    ?>

    <?php if ( is_search() || is_archive() || is_author() || is_tag() || is_home() ) : // Only display Excerpts
    endif;
    ?>

    Thanks

    Many thanks for your quick response!

    I’ve made the ammendment and now get this on the top of my website?

    Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /home1/karmafree/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/functions.php:9) in /home1/karmafree/public_html/wp-content/plugins/custom-contact-forms/classes/class-ccf-form-handler.php on line 587

    I’ve now removed the code again. Any thoughts? I’d ideally like the site to display like this https://karma-free-life.com/?s=garlic (I’ll of course add featured tiles) with perhaps ‘read more’ links, once I get the basics sorted.

    Many thanks,

    Stuart

    Hi,

    Please change the above code which was previously posted by us as follows:

    <?php
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

    }

  if ( is_search() || is_archive() || is_author() || is_tag() || is_home() ) :
        // Only display Excerpts
  endif;
    ?>

    Please let us know if it solves your problem.

    Thanks

    Hi, Clarion Technologies,

    Many thanks, again, but, no, this had no effect in adding excerpts to my site.

    I’m totally baffled!

    @sbgolledge: If I’m understanding what your aim is here, then you need something more than just this comment:

    // Only display Excerpts

    For example, you’d need <?php the_excerpt(); ?> there in order to actually display an excerpt.
