I'm working on a child theme in Wordpress, I use this script to load my JS script in functions.php
function load_child_js() {
wp_enqueue_script( "main",get_template_directory_uri()."_child/scripts/main.js");
}
add_action( "wp_footer", "load_child_js");
I want to do the same for my css file, I try to reproduce the same script but it does not work.
Thanks for your help !
Use wp_enqueue_style for your css.
wp_enqueue_style('mycss',get_template_directory_uri().'_child/css/main.css');
Documentation
But instead of wp_footer, hook into wp_enqueue_scripts. You can also enqueue your script there, and if you want script to be in the footer, set 5th parameter to true. Documentation

I'm build a wordpress theme and I've created in my style.css a custom class for the plugin: Social Count plus
The problem's that plugin use an own css called counter.css what I need to do is prevent the inclusion of this css, so I've inserted this line in my functions.php:
wp_dequeue_style( 'counter' );
unfortunately the style is even included during the site reload. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Try this:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
wp_dequeue_style('social-count-plus');
wp_deregister_style('social-count-plus');
});
Just leave the counter.css file in place but either empty it out or comment everything out. It can't load what's not there. Be aware though, and update to that plugin might add the contents of that file back.
In Wordpres, I have created a plugin. I'm trying to use Bootstrap/bootstrap-select in order to create a multi-select (with checkboxes) on a custom page template, but I'm having problems. I'm not creating a new theme, but I am using a child theme. Here is what I've done:
Copied page.php from the parent theme to the child and renamed it to manage-matches.php
Edited the template and added
Template Name: manage matches
Created a new page and selected this new template
In the template loop content div, I call another PHP file using:
This function is in managematches.php and I've
I copied my header.php to the child and added the references to the bootstrap.css and the bootstrap-select.css
I've done
include_once 'includes/managematches.php';
in my plugin.
This function managematches() generates the html for my page and it works fine. In fact, I can create bootstrap elements so I know the bootstrap/bootstrap-select.css files are working. I've also created a .js file (managematches.js) and enqueued it and that is working. By working, I mean that standard jQuery functions and selectors work fine.
The problem is that I can't get any of the functions in bootstrap-select.js to work. I've tried putting the reference to it in a whole bunch of places, to no avail. I keep getting:
TypeError: $(...).selectpicker is not a function
The problem is described here: Bootstrap-select not working
and I know my issue is that I need to make sure bootstrap-select.js is included before loading my code.
What I'm not clear on is how to do this in the wordpress enviornment. I'm close, but not where I want to be. If anyone has a suggestion on how to resolve this, I would appreciate the help.

I enqueued the css and js in my plugin, but the functions.php would work too.
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap', 'http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css');
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-select', 'http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.7.3/css/bootstrap-select.min.css');
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrapjs', 'http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap-selectjs', 'http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.7.3/js/bootstrap-select.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true );

I guess your javascript files are loaded either in the header.php or the footer.php on the main theme. Of course they can also be included in functions.php. You can inspect the source code of the generated page and check in which point is your bootstrap-select included and then search the name of the file on your theme's source code.
How did you enqueue your managematches.js?
By using wp_enqueue_script you can also declare dependecies of the enqueued script.
I am attempting to load a script using wp_enqueue_style following the advice on the Wordpres Codex, but the script doesn't seem to be included in the source. Is this the correct way to do it?
function load_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap.css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
Your action and function looks fine from here. The wp_enqueue_scripts hook should work perfectly for both stylesheets and scripts.
Have you tried echoing something out in the function to see if it's actually being called at all? I.e:
function load_scripts() {
echo "Does this output to the actual page?";
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap.css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
If it's not, you might have a problem with your placement of the code, but if you keep everything in functions.php and outside of any other scope this shouldn't be a problem.
Another thing that can cause this behaviour is if you have already registered a stylesheet or script with the same handle ("bootstrap.css" in this case). The first argument in the wp_enqueue_style() function is just a handle for internal dependency management and should be unique, try renaming it to something else and see if that fixes your problem.
Okay, first step is to ensure you are using the correct path of the CSS file.
Add the following line in the functions.php of your theme or other appropriate place.
print( get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );
This should print the URL of your desired stylesheet on top of the page. Copy and paste this URL in a new tab, if it opens a stylesheet then you are good to go. Otherwise, there is a mistake in the path.
Second step is to ensure that wp_head() is being called on the page you are displaying. It can be placed in your header template or top of archives/post files etc. This function actually renders the styles and scripts on the page.
Without wp_head(), its basically useless to enque anything as you can add links and scripts manually if you know the exact paths.
Note that in admin mode there is a special hook 'admin_enqueue_scripts'. So, if there is need to load CSS in both modes, it should be done on two hooks.
function load_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap.css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
You are trying to enqueue style on wp_enqueue_scripts hook.
Try wp_print_styles.
add_action('wp_print_styles', 'load_scripts');
Also try to register style, first.
in case you don't want to use wp_head(); in your template, you could also include your styles directly:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_theme_file_uri( 'style.css' ); ?>">
beware though: wp_head() includes tons of stuff (scripts, styles,...), by wordpress itself as well as most plugins, so only omit it if you know what you're doing.
Register the style first:
function register_plugin_styles() {
wp_register_style('my-plugin', plugins_url('my-plugin/css/plugin.css'));
wp_enqueue_style('my-plugin');
}
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_style
Do that way. Dont try to enqueue directly. And put code into functions.php of course.
Fist confirm path of the css file is correct or not if is it a correct try with below code :
function load_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style('load-custom-css-new', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
or Go with this URL.

I had the same problem. Although I have implemented this many times before, I lost many hours to find out what went wrong with this.
Because I made my own themes, I had declared this file unit as “fuctions.php” (I lost the -n- letter).
So, besides all the things described above you should also consider, take a good look at the file name and confirm that is “functions.php” (not fuctions, not function etc).
This might be also the reason for you.
I had the same issue. I fixed it by hard refreshing the page with Ctrl + F5 to clear cache and the css loaded normally.
If you are protecting the directory with .htpasswd, the https call generated by get_stylesheet... will fail, and you might lose some time chasing that one.
Not sure if I worded it correctly but basically I wanted to load plugin CSS/JS on pages only that uses the actual plugins.. I have gotten a lot of it done by search thru the plugin files for any handles used in wp_enqueue_script within the plugins and simply wp_dequeue_script them in functions.php
However, there are some enqueues for style that include a .php and not a css file, for example.. in the plugin it enqueues a file
wp_enqueue_style("myrp-stuff", MYRP_PLUGIN_URL . "/myrp-hotlink-css.php");
so I've tried:
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff');
It doesn't work
However, when the page/post is rendered it shows as
<link rel='stylesheet' id='myrp-stuff-css' href='http://www.modernlogic.co/wp/wp-content/plugins/MyRP/myrp-hotlink-css.php?ver=3.4.2' type='text/css' media='all' />
It addes -css to the id and it refuses to dequeue/deregister and be moved.
I have also tried the following with no luck
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff-css');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff-css');
Any suggestions?
Scripts and styles can be enqueued in any order and at anytime before wp_print_* actions are triggered. Which can make it difficult to remove them from the queue before output.
To make dequeue work consistently hook into into wp_print_styles or wp_print_scripts with a high priority, as this will remove the scripts and styles just before output.
For instance in your plugin loader code or template's functions.php file you could have a function and action hook like this:
function remove_assets() {
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff');
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'remove_assets', PHP_INT_MAX );
Setting a high priority (third argument to add_action) when hooking into the action will help ensure that the callback remove_assets gets called last, just before scripts/styles are printed.
Note, while this technique is legitimate for removing scripts/styles it should't be used for adding assets. See this Wordpress Core blog post for more info.
Just to be sure, have you placed your code inside a function called by an action like this?:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_function');
function dequeue_function() {
wp_dequeue_style( array('myrp-stuff', 'myrp-stuff-css') );
wp_deregister_style( array('myrp-stuff', 'myrp-stuff-css') );
}
I'm using wordpress 3.3.1 and it seems that jquery is there by default, all i need to do is to enqueue the file through wp_enqueue_script function. What if i want to put this function inside another plugin that is already installed. For example, i'm using jwplayer plugin for wordpress now if i want the jwplayer plugin to enqueue the jquery file for me where do i tell it to do this, the main plugin file for jwplayer is named as jwplayermodule.php and it's at the root of the jwplayer plugin directory.

You enqueue jquery like so:
// Function to perform any things that need to be done BEFORE the header is called
function my_wp_init() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
// Enable the widgets, prepare the function for the head call, etc.
add_action('init', 'my_wp_init');
The best place to do this would be in your theme's functions.php file. This way, jQuery is always loaded in your theme.
ALTERNATIVELY, you can drop the same code into the plugin php file you mentioned - jwplayermodule.php
