在Wordpress中使用wp_enqueue

Question

I turn to this awesome community , after days of trying to fix this bug, my problem is really simple, but it has got to me. I am trying to enqueue a Java script to my Theme my login Plugin while using the evolve theme.

here is the code snippet that does that, and i used the global function to check if the function is being loaded , and it is not being loaded. 'a' does not change to true.

For some reason it looks like 'wp_enqueue_scripts is not working. I have tried to also add wp_head() with no luck.

  <?php
$GLOBALS['a'] = 'false';
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_location' );

function load_location() {
$GLOBALS['a'] = 'true';
    wp_register_script('load_location_test',get_template_directory_uri().'/load_location.js', array('jquery'),'1.1',true);
    wp_enqueue_script('load_location_test');
}

?>
<?php echo $GLOBALS['a'] ?>;

Thanks in advice

You should look at the docs or at the files of other plugins, walkthroughs online, etc, to understand more. wp_enqueue_scripts is a hook you're using to load your Javascript, and you have the basic right idea, but try something a little more like this inside your functions.php:

function my_custom_scripts() {
    wp_register_script( 'custom-js', 'js/custom.js' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-js', 'js/custom.js', false );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_custom_scripts' );

Change out the "js/custom.js" for wherever your directory has your JS file.

Another option, if this is proving too tough, is to put a direct link to the JS file at the bottom of your footer.php. Like <script src="/path/to/my/file.js"></script>.

I do find the enqueuing scripts thing a little weird sometimes though, hope this helps you get it figured out.
