3,109 PointsWordpress Theme Doesn't Load Flexslider Files
Here is my code from the Wordpress Theme Tutorial. I posted this before and realized it's in my functions.php since its actual files not loading. It is loading all my other documents and the file path is correct. Thoughts?
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );
//Load the Theme CSS
function theme_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'grid', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/grid.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'googlefonts', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sorts+Mill+Goudy:400,400italic' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'social', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/webfonts/ss-social.css' );
wp_register_style( 'flex-stylesheet', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'). '/css/flexslider.css', array(), '', 'all' );
if( is_home() ) {
wp_enqueue_style('flex-stylesheet');
}
}
//Load the Theme JS
function theme_js() {
wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'js/jquery.flexslider-min.js', array('jquery'));
wp_register_script('flexslider-init', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'js/flexslider-init.js', array('jquery', 'flexslider'));
if( is_home() ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider-init' );
}
}
wp_enqueue_script( 'theme_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
//Enable custom menus
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
function create_widget( $name, $id, $description ) {
$args = array(
'name' => __( $name ),
'id' => $id,
'description' => $description,
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h5>',
'after_title' => '</h5>'
);
register_sidebar( $args );
}
create_widget( 'Left Footer', 'footer_left', 'Displays in the bottom left of footer');
create_widget( 'Middle Footer', 'footer_middle', 'Displays in the bottom middle of footer');
create_widget( 'Right Footer', 'footer_right', 'Displays in the bottom right of footer');
?>

Are you using a static page as your home page? if yes, then you need to use is_front_page() in your conditional statement.

3,109 PointsThat worked! Maybe Zac can comment on this, but why did register script break flexslider?

5,265 PointsI rechecked your code and you seem to be missing '/' before js/jquery.flexslider-min.js & js/flexslider-init.js.
wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'js/jquery.flexslider-min.js', array('jquery'));
wp_register_script('flexslider-init', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'js/flexslider-init.js', array('jquery', 'flexslider'));

5,265 PointsPreferable way to include template directory uri is by using get_template_directory_uri() for parent theme and get_stylesheet_directory_uri() for child themes.
In both cases trailing slash in not added after the url.
