 * Hi, I am using this theme on my blog myinvestmentideas.com _for a while it is
   great. I have noticed that I need to add some code in functions.php file specific
   to my website. I need to add this to ?> (at the end of the functions.php). However,
   I could not see any >> in functions.php file. Is this error. Is functions.php
   file is incomplete in smartline theme? Pls refer this wordpress comment for the
   code I wanted to add. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-wp-emoji-releaseminjs-it-decrease-my-websites-ranking-in-google](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-wp-emoji-releaseminjs-it-decrease-my-websites-ranking-in-google)_

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for using Smartline.
 * The functions.php of Smartline is not incomplete. The `?>` marks the end of a
   PHP code block but is not needed in pure PHP files.
 * You can simply add your PHP code to the end of the functions.php. But I highly
   recommend to use a child theme to add your own functions instead of editing the
   Smartline theme. The functions.php is overwritten with each update and the child
   theme prevents that your custom modifications are lost.
 * You can learn more about Child Themes on [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * Best,
    Thomas
