Question

If I use the full path to a script in the head section of my WordPress theme it works fine. E.g.:

<script src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content-/theme/mytheme/js/script.js"></script>

However, if I use the ‘correct’ WordPress method it breaks, e.g.:

<?php wp_enqueue_script('kwicks-settings', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script.js'); ?>

When i use the wp_enqueue_script, the script appears linked to in the source code, but for some reason the script doesn’t run.

Any ideas why this might be?

Answer 1

You aren’t registering the script.

Register it:

wp_register_script( 'my-script', get_template_directory_uri() .'/js/myscript.js');

Then Enqueue it:

wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script' );
