JS not loading

what am I doing wrong?

function imk_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '3.3.5', true ); wp_enqueue_script( 'plugin_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/plugins.js', array(''), '1.0', true ); wp_enqueue_script( 'bskit_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bskit-scripts.js', array(''), '1.0', true ); }

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'imk_scripts' );

Hey man, that a little weird. I compared your code with what I usually use and it looks like it should be working. Are you getting any errors in the console (if you right click and go to Inspect Element > Console ) - any 404s?

Here the mistake : there were no script dependencies, so I had to declare empty array: array(), rather than array('').

The correct code is:

function imk_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '3.3.5', true ); wp_enqueue_script( 'plugin_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/plugins.js', array(), '1.0', true ); wp_enqueue_script( 'bskit_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bskit-scripts.js', array(), '1.0', true ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'imk_scripts'
