9,214 PointsCant enqueue scripts if the last parameter is true.
The scripts will run if I set the last parameter to false but dont if I set it to true. I also cant seem to get the button to show up in either case. Im not getting any console errors it just wont load. modernizr.js runs but the other two dont. Any ideas?
functions.php
function wpt_theme_styles(){
wp_enqueue_style('foundation_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/foundation.css');
wp_enqueue_style('normalize_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css');
wp_enqueue_style('import_css', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Asap:400,700,400italic,700italic');
wp_enqueue_style('main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpt_theme_styles');
function wpt_theme_js(){
wp_enqueue_script('modernizr_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/modernizr.js', '','', false);
wp_enqueue_script('foundation_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/foundation.js', array('jquery'),'', true);
wp_enqueue_script('app_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/app.js', array('jquery', 'foundation_js'),'', true);
}

12,735 PointsAre you sure they aren't loading, the last parameter of the enqueue_scripts function specifies wether or not you want to load in the footer. Have you checked there?
Presley Cobb
9,214 PointsYea im sure the last parameter is loading because when I change it to false the code works just fine. I even tried creating a script that just alerts test. The script worked if I loaded it in the header but not the footer. Again the only thing I changed was the last parameter. so im pretty sure it's coming from there.

Did you get this working? If not can you copy/paste your code for your footer?
Generally, when this happens the wp_footer() is missing from the footer of the site.
Presley Cobb
9,214 PointsThat's the problem. I didnt realize the footer was missing. Thank you so much. that was driving me crazy.
Mark Truitt
17,230 PointsAnytime Presley,
Glad I could help!
Presley Cobb
9,214 PointsSorry I actually spoke too soon. The footer is being called the script is just not being inserted. So back to square one. Any other ideas?
Presley Cobb
9,214 PointsOk turns out you were right. Somehow I completely skipped over the footer section of the video and never called wp_footer on footer.php. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

9,214 PointsI solved the button problem now that shows up. I didnt have anything in the css file I was linking to. But the app.js and the foundation.js still wont work if the last parameter is true. Is anyone else having this problem?
