7,771 Pointslinking javascript file to wordpress child theme
I tried asking this question on stackoverflow, but it still is not working for me. I have a jquery script that i want to run on my wordpress child theme. I have placed the following into the functions.php file in the child theme:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_and_register' );
function enqueue_and_register() { wp_register_script( 'theme', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/js/theme.js' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'theme', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery', 'theme') ); }
It finds the theme.js when I view page source, but it does not do anthing. The jquery file worked when it was in the parent theme (I'm using avenue theme). Below is the jquery script:
/**
- scroll script */ ( function( $ ) {
$('.main-navigation li a').click(function() { var link = $(this).attr('href'); $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $(link).offset().top }, 1500); }); })( jQuery );
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

7,771 PointsI figured it out. Just in case anyone would like to see what I did, here is the code:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_and_register' );
function enqueue_and_register() { wp_register_script( 'theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery'), '', true ); }
