wp_enqueue_scripts – what am I doing wrong?

  • Please let me get a direct answer instead of “go find an example” or “you’re doing it wrong.” I know I’m doing it wrong, that’s why I’m asking.

    So, this is what I have in my functions.php file

    function mdg_setup_scripts() {
  $mdgtemplateloc = get_bloginfo( 'template_url' ).'/js/';
  wp_register_script( 'hoverIntent', get_bloginfo('template_url').'/js/hoverIntent.js', array( 'jquery' ));
  wp_enqueue_script( 'hoverIntent' );
  wp_register_script( 'mdMenuAnimation', $mdgtemplateloc.'mdMenuAnimation.js', array( 'hoverIntent' ));
  wp_enqueue_script( 'mdMenuAnimation' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mdg_setup_scripts' );

    No <script> tag appears at all in the HTML generated.

    Am I missing something I was supposed to put in the header.php to call this? What did I do wrong?

  • I’ve always put my javascript in the <head> tag, so, in the header. But some people prefer it in the footer now.

    You seem to be doing it right. I’m just having exactly the same problem on one blog (works fine on all other) – used “wp_enqueue_scripts” action but no script tag appears. I’ll write again if I find the source of the problem.

    Andrew was right, when removing $in_footer argument it started working. Apparently some themes don’t properly call get_footer();
