Hi!

I get this error every time I try to save settings from Hide my WP plugin.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_home_path() in /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-admin/includes/misc.php:204 Stack trace: #0 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-includes/class-wp-rewrite.php(1775): save_mod_rewrite_rules() #1 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): WP_Rewrite->flush_rules(true) #2 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #3 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #4 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-settings.php(471): do_action('wp_loaded') #5 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-config.php(101): require_once('/home1/nextgate...') #6 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-load.php(37): require_once('/home1/nextgate...') #7 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-admin/admin.php(31): require_once('/home1/nextgate...') #8 /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-admin/options.php(19): require_once('/h in /home1/nextgates/public_html/business/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 204

Note that I have updated to the latest WordPress version + PLugins + PHP7.1
Would you please help me!

That’s a strange error as get_home_path() is core WP function. Please try adding the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file (right after if ( !function_exists( "get_home_path" ) ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . "/../../../wp-admin/includes/file.php" );
}

Thank you. It works after adding your code! Can you explain to me what is the problem, and is it okay to keep the code in the function file?

Yes, there’s no problem at all in adding the above code in theme’s functions.php file.
The issue is that HMWP is not able to access WP function get_home_path(). So, basically we are including the file/code that has get_home_path() function.
