new to javascript – using in instead of functions.php, not loading correctly
Start by putting your JS in an appropriate .js file in your theme directory. Use the wp_enqueue_scripts hook (this is where you will enqueue/load any of your custom javascripts). Within that hook, use wp_enqueue_script() to load your script(s). Example: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘enqueue_my_stuff’ ); function enqueue_my_stuff () { wp_enqueue_script(‘slug_for_your_script’ , get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/path/to/yourscripts.js’, array(‘jquery’) ); }
