Comments Link Code Snipped

[DorisEdwards]

Hello,
I am running Minimum Pro and wanted to change the "Leave a comment" link text.
I have this code snippet which I duly copied as is, to modify the syntax "Leave a comment".
It seems to have an error because my function file no longer works when I paste it. NB: I have not changed anything to start with. Simply pasting the code gives me the error.
Anyone can spot the error?
Thank you. Kind regards, Doris

//* Modify the comment link text in comments
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter( $post_info ) {
return '[post_comments zero="Leave a Comment" one="1 Comment" more="% Comments"]';
}

Make sure you copy it from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions file using a code editor.

When you paste PHP code into a webpage like you have done without embedding correctly, it will break when someone copies and pastes it into a file.

Thank you Brad for getting back to me so quickly.
I have indeed copied the raw version. I am not on my first code snippet, working with Genesis for nearly 5 years. I've used several today, always with the same procedure. This particular one was copied at the end of the function.php with raw.
Unless I am mistaken, there might be a problem with the code?
Anyway, thank you very much. Kind regards from Geneva Switzerland. Doris

PS
I will try copying it raw once more, pasting into an HTML Editor first, and then recopying pasting it into the function php. But I usually do not need to do that.

You use a code editor to add it directly to the file rather than the theme editor right?

The snippet is the Comment Link
a) I copied (raw)
b) pasted into html editor
c) copied from there
d) pasted into php function at the very end, see image

The site is no longer accessible and I need to recopy (via FTP) the original function.php

This is how it looks when copied from html editor

//* Modify the comment link text in comments
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter( $post_info ) {
return '[post_comments zero="Leave a Comment" one="1 Comment" more="% Comments"]';
}

Kind regards, Doris

No. Thats why it breaks. Copy it from the view raw link in the Gist and paste it at the end of the file using a code editor.

Do not paste it into your WordPress > Appearance > Theme Functions > functions.php file

Access your functions file using File Manager in cPanel or FTP.

The PHP code that you keep on pasting into this forum breaks as previously advised.
