Thank you for helping me on the right path.
I was not aware that WordPress already included the jquery package.
function load_stylesheets()
{
/*
* array() if its required to load another script too before working. Version. media
*/
wp_register_style('bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.css', array(), '4.4.1', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap');
/*
* For override purpose - Load this last.
*/
wp_register_style('style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), '4.4', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('style');
}
/*
* Add the function to be run.
*/
add_action('wp_enqueue_style', 'load_stylesheets');
function load_scripts(){
wp_register_script('customScript', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/scripts.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true);
wp_enqueue_script( 'customScript' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
