Wordpress: Failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Question

I recently installed ACF Date and Time Picker plugin, and according to the installation guidelines, I copied the acf-date_time_picker folder that comes along with it inside my themes directory, alongside the functions.php file. Also, as per the installation guidelines, I copied the following code snippet inside my functions.php file:

<?php add_action('acf/register_fields', 'my_register_fields');

function my_register_fields()
{
    include_once('acf-date_time_picker/acf-date_time_picker.php');
}  ?>

The basic idea behind doing this was to include the acf-date_time_picker.php file inside my functions.php file. And since that file is included inside the acf-date_time_picker folder which is alongside functions.php file, I included the path to be included as

'acf-date_time_picker/acf-date_time_picker.php'

However, this is the error I'm encountering:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/functions.php

What seems to be the problem here?

EDIT:

Including screenshots for better understanding of my directory paths:

@Toretto No I'm not. Modified the file by opening the file on a text editor. — Manas Chaturvedi, Aug 12 '15 at 13:05
check for the path you have entered in functions.php for including your plugin "acf-date_time_picker" — Toretto, Aug 12 '15 at 13:10
This is the path I've entered in my `functions.php` file: `'acf-date_time_picker/acf-date_time_picker.php'`, as mentioned in my original post. — Manas Chaturvedi, Aug 12 '15 at 13:14

Go to Admin->Appearance->Editor and select a different theme from the dropdown on the right. Edit its functions.php and see if you find any of the bad code there.

You're using underscores _ instead of dashes - in the folder name

include_once('acf-date_time_picker/acf-date_time_picker.php');

The folder name I'm seeing in the first screenshot is acf-date-time-picker

So try:

include_once('acf-date-time-picker/acf-date_time_picker.php');

Yes, I was clearly misspelling my folder's name in the path. Thanks for pointing that out ! – Manas Chaturvedi Aug 12 '15 at 13:36
