[Support request] PHP Warning: include(): Failed opening

[Georgi]

Hi there,

I am adding social buttons and related posts to my website without plugin and I have an error with the share buttons on my site after I moved to the latest version.

Here is the code I use – it’s added to function.php

**
* Social media share buttons
*/
function wcr_share_buttons() {
$url = urlencode(get_the_permalink());
$title = urlencode(html_entity_decode(get_the_title(), ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8’));
$media = urlencode(get_the_post_thumbnail_url(get_the_ID(), ‘full’));

include( locate_template(‘share-template.php’, false, false) );
}

Here is the error:

Warning: include(): Filename cannot be empty in /home/supple82/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/functions.php on line 151

Warning: include(): Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php72/pear’) in /home/supple82/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/functions.php on line 151

Hi there,

No changes should be made to core files.

Instead, add your code using a child theme: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/

Then, make sure share-template.php exists in your child theme folder.
