First thing jquery in there by default in wordpress so you dont have to register it , just enqueue it
most of the jquery ui libs and core jquery files are already registered with wordpress so you only need to enqueue with right handle look here enqueue script
wp_enqueue_script
is used to enqueue script and wp_enqueue_style
is used to enqueue style
for calling custom js, its better to register script or style first before using
wp_register_script
// to register script
wp_register_style
// To register style
then enqueue using wp_enqueue_script
, wp_enqueue_style
here is a sample code snippet for whole process from my site
function pr_scripts_styles() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); // just enqueue as its already registered if ( is_singular() && comments_open() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); /* REGISTER ALL JS FOR SITE */ wp_register_script('pr_cycle_all',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/pr-slider.js'); wp_register_script('pr_slider',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js'); wp_register_script('pr_validation_engine',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.validationEngine-en.js'); wp_register_script('pr_validation_locale',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.validationEngine.js'); wp_register_script('stylethemes',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/stylethemes.js'); wp_register_script('pr-jquery-ui',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery-ui.js'); wp_register_script('main-js',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/main.js'); wp_register_script('pr-galleriffic',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.galleriffic.js'); wp_register_script('pr-rollover',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.opacityrollover.js'); wp_register_script('pr_colorbox',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.colorbox.js'); wp_register_script('pr_jcarousel_js',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.jcarousel.min.js'); //wp_register_script('google-map-api','https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false'); /* REGISTER ALL CSS FOR SITE */ wp_register_style('pr_woocommerce',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/_woocommerce.css'); wp_register_style('pr_mobile',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/mobile.css'); wp_register_style('pr_sec_teal_grey',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/secondary-teal-grey.css'); wp_register_style('pr_site_options',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/site-options.css'); wp_register_style('pr_teal_grey',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/teal-grey.css'); wp_register_style('validation_css',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/validationEngine.jquery.css'); wp_register_style('galleriffic_css',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/galleriffic.css'); wp_register_style('pr_colorbox_style',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/colorbox.css'); wp_register_style('pr_jcarousel_css',get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/jcarouselskin.css'); /* CALL ALL CSS AND SCRIPTS FOR SITE */ wp_enqueue_script('pr-jquery-ui'); wp_enqueue_script('stylethemes'); wp_enqueue_script('pr_cycle_all'); wp_enqueue_script('pr_slider','','','',true); wp_enqueue_script('pr_validation_engine'); wp_enqueue_script('pr_validation_locale'); wp_enqueue_script('google-map-api'); wp_enqueue_script('main-js'); wp_enqueue_script('pr-galleriffic'); wp_enqueue_script('pr-rollover'); wp_enqueue_script('pr_colorbox'); wp_enqueue_style( 'pr-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array(), '2013-07-18' ); wp_enqueue_style('pr_site_options'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_woocommerce'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_mobile'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_sec_teal_grey'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_teal_grey'); wp_enqueue_style('validation_css'); wp_enqueue_style('galleriffic_css'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_colorbox_style'); if(is_single()){ wp_enqueue_script('pr_jcarousel_js'); wp_enqueue_style('pr_jcarousel_css'); } } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'pr_scripts_styles' );
also remember to hook your function with wp_enqueue_scripts
so that scripts & style load correctly add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'pr_scripts_styles' );
