how do I actually add jQuery to html5blank wordpress theme by toddmotto?
I'm quite new to wordpress so I'm not really sure how does this work.
For normal html, I'll just link a script tag of jquery and another script tag with $(document).ready.. . . . . and start the jquery codes.
Would really love if someone who had experience using html5blank theme could shed some light.
Thanks much!
The WordPress recommends add jquery from WordPress itself.So you can add jquery using following way.
Add code to your current theme functions.php file.
function func_add_my_jquery() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'func_add_my_jquery' );
I load all my scripts from functions.php by using wp_enqeue_script. This will avoid duplicate loading.
If you only want to load Query, you can do this by:
function load_my_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_my_scripts' );
This will load the jQuery that follows WP. You can see other default scripts you can load here:
If you want to load other JS scripts, then you must use this:
function theme_name_scripts() {
wp_register_script( 'my-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/my-script.js', array('jquery') );
wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_name_scripts' );
The array('jquery') is for dependencies and in this case means that jQuery must be loaded before this script can be loaded.
If you want to register a newer version of jQuery, you first have to deregister the loaded jQuery:
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );

I have searched this on google but couldn't find a satisfaying answer. I'm trying to load jquery ui core in my header in worpdess, but can't seem to find the way to do so. In my function.php file I'm doing this :
function my_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-core');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_scripts' );
This loads the script but in the footer. Anyone knows if it's possible? Or should I deregister jquery ui and use a CDN?
Thanks!
Try this.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_scripts');
function my_theme_scripts(){
if( is_admin() ) return;
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-ui-core' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-core', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.12.1' );
}
I have created a child theme and have created a page-splash.php in the child theme and have also created a page-splash.css for this page, but somehow I am unable to load the page-splash.css for the page-splash.php file.
This is my code in the functions.php ( in the child theme folder)
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
function splash_enqueue_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'page-splash', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/page-spash.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'splash_enqueue_style' );
?>
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
What am I doing wrong??
I am working in localhost and will transfer these files to a working domain after things are working properly.
Couple of things, starting with the simplest -- You've got a typo in your page-splash.css file path. You've got it typed as page-spash.css
Additionally, there's probably no need to call two separate functions for this. You could enqueue both of those styles in one call like so:
function splash_enqueue_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
if(is_page_template('page-splash.php'){
//Path to your template.. if it's in a dir, include it before the file
wp_enqueue_style( 'page-splash', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/page-splash.css' );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'splash_enqueue_style' );
Well, I kept on searching for answers and I have found it.
It seems that using wp_head() is important if you want to load all javascript
or css files and it started to work when I did that.
Can anyone explain me with example what does the below lines means? (I am developing a wordpress plugin)
You still have a copy of jquery UI and jquery in the JS folder.
And you're still calling it:
wp_register_script( 'sa_jquery_ui', plugins_url('/js/jquery-ui.js', __FILE__) );
I am stuck
With wp_register_script you include your js-script in the plugin.
"Hey Wordpress! You must include this script when verificate and call my plugin" :)
This is like wp_register_* when you create a wordpress theme
Try This Code In your Plugin main file
function pluging_enqueue_script() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'sa_jquery_ui', plugins_url('plugin-name/js/jquery-ui.js'), array(), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action( 'init', 'plugin_enqueue_script' );
I want to use the jQuery-ui .accordion function in a WordPress child theme. So far I've:
created a js file in my child theme directory and put it in no-conflict mode:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$( "#accordion" ).accordion();
});
Enqueued the script into my functions.php file: function myChild_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'onepage-child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
wp_enqueue_script( 'onepage-child-accordion', get_stylesheet_uri() . '/js/accordion.js', array('jquery-ui-accordion', 'jquery'), 20150507, true );
Added the add_action function: add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'myChild_scripts' );
However, the .accordion function is also dependent on jquery-ui.css. Don't I also need to include that in the enqueueing process? I can find no documentation that discusses inclusion of this file - or whether it's already part of WP core.
You can enqueue a stylesheet in the functions.php file. It may be something like this (assuming your file is in your theme directory, inside a css folder).
function my_styles()
{
wp_register_style( 'jquery-ui-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/jquery-ui.css', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'jquery-ui-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_styles' );
Here's some reference.
I am having an issue with loading some javascript in a child theme I am creating for one of my themes.
Essentially I do:
get_stylesheet_directory() . '/path/to/javascript.js'
which is what your suppose to do, But , as per the documentation, I am getting:
mysite.com/dev/home/path/to/wordpress/path/to/theme/path/to/js.js
which is causing it to not find the required file. because home is at the root of the site.
any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
get_stylesheet_directory() returns a server path. I'm pretty sure you want:
get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');
That will return a URL of your stylesheet directory in relation to your Wordpress Installation so you can load external assets like Javascript files that reside in your theme.
I think this will do the trick:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/path/to/javascript.js"></script>
It's better to enqueue scripts and styles the WordPress way.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_script/
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/
Put this in functions.php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue' );
function enqueue() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
wp_enqueue_style( 'theme-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/theme.css' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'theme-scripts', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/theme.js' );
}
