I need to add a script in the site footer. I'm just referencing the footer.php:
<script src="wp-content/file/script.js"></ script>
At Home functions normally, but when access a page child he does not find because search the directory:
site/page-child/wp-content/file/script.js.
I saw that I have to use:
wp_enqueue_script ()
But where should I put this code?
Thank's
You just need to add a "/" before your url in order to start it from root like :
<script src="/wp-content/file/script.js"></ script>
Indeed at home page it looks for yoursite.com/wp-content but on other pages it searches yoursite.com/current-page/wp-content and obviously it results in 404.
Adding / make it always look for yoursite.com/wp-content
Adding <script src="wp-content/file/script.js"></ script> is not a clean way to load your JS files because this is not a relative URL and when you active your child theme probably your theme will not load your JS file, the solution is :
<script src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/js/script.js"></script>
You need to add this to your footer.php file in your theme directory wp-content\themes\your_theme\footer.php
but the best way is to use WP hooks to include your scripts, first you need to register them using
wp_register_script( 'my_script_name', get_template_directory_uri(). '/js/script.js' );
then simply load them
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_script_name' );
Don't try to register and enqueue your scripts directly in your footer.php file, instead create a method in your functions.php template file then load your scripts using
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method' );
Note: To enqueue your scripts to the footer you need to set $in_footer parameter to true.
Checkout wp_enqueue_script for more information.
wp_register_script? How do I upload my js my pc file to the wordpress?wp-content\themes\your_theme\js Then go to wp-content\themes\your_theme\footer.php and add this : <script src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/js/script.js"></script> To use wp_register_script, add it to wp-content\themes\your_theme\functions.php if the file doesn't exist create it and it will be automatically loaded..function load_my_script(){ wp_register_script( 'my_script_name', get_template_directory_uri(). '/js/script.js' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'my_script_name' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method' );Since you seem to use WordPress, you can replace
<script src="wp-content/file/script.js"></ script>
with:
<script src="<?php site_url('/wp-content/file/script.js'); ?>"></script>
<script> block was?
