I'm using my local host and I can't seem to get my slider to link not sure why.
<?php
// Load the Theme CSS function theme_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'grid', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/grid.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'googlefonts', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sorts+Mill+Goudy:400,400italic' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'social', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/webfonts/ss-social.css' );
wp_register_style( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexslider.css' );
if( is_page( 'home' ) ) {
wp_enqueue_style( 'flexslider' );
}
} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );
// Load the Theme JS function theme_js() {
wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/flexslider.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
if( is_page( 'home' ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' );
}
wp_enqueue_script( 'theme_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js' );
// Enable custom menus add_theme_support( 'menus' );
// Function for creating Widegets function create_widget($name, $id, $description) {
register_sidebar(array(

6,358 Pointsyour code got output a little weird in the forum post, so it's hard to tell.
In the output above, all of this is on the same line: // Load the Theme JS function theme_js() {
If it's like that in your theme that would cause your js not to get pulled in as your function declaration is in a comment.
If not, are you getting any php errors or any errors in the console?

6,358 PointsI did some research and it sounds like it could be a couple different things
1) Including jQuery twice. Is jQuery only being called once in your source code? 2) flexslider.js does not exist or incorrect path to flexslider.js. Does the link to flexslider.js appear in your source code? and if so does it take you to the file?

6,670 Pointsthis is the error i'm getting
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'flexslider' theme.js?ver=3.8.1:2 Consider using 'dppx' units instead of 'dpi', as in CSS 'dpi' means dots-per-CSS-inch, not dots-per-physical-inch, so does not correspond to the actual 'dpi' of a screen. In media query expression: (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), (min-resolution: 144dpi) follow_button.1392079123.html:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'user' of undefined twiget.js?ver=3.8.1:3 event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
