how to do file_get_contents in WordPress

[rinkuyadav999]

Hi

I am developing a free WordPress theme.

Theme check plugin display:

WARNING: file_get_contents was found in the file customizer.php File operations should use the WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls.

Line 10: $fonts = file_get_contents( get_template_directory() . '/json/google-fonts.json' );

I can't found, how to use file_get_contents in WordPress.

Thank you
Regards
Rinku Y

The Theme Check plugin / warning is incorrect in this case.

However, this isn't the correct avenue for support requests, Please use the ​WordPress Support Forums or contact the Theme Review team directly for theme issues.

Maybe it would be helpful to throw exception if someone is using wp-filesystem outside admin area? It seems like some developers try to avoid Theme Checker plugin / warnings by wrong implementation of wp-filesystem in frontend for just get_contents. BTW warnings can be easily bypassed by something like this: $func = 'file_ge' . 't_contents'; $data = $func($file);
