wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly.

Hello, having built out most of my first wp theme, when using the theme-check I get an error at the top of dashboard which says: Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or login_enqueue_scripts hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in /Users/................/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3370 I have checked on Google for possible solutions but not finding any that makes sense to me unfortunately! Any help would be great! Thanks, Nic

Hi Zac :) Thanks for your reply!

Here below is in my functions.php file and is the only place I can think where I have enqueued scripts (unless perhaps a plugin? - those active are: Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Type UI, Gravity Forms)

function ptmjdk_theme_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( 'googlefonts_css', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,400,700,400italic|Courgette' );

wp_enqueue_style( 'main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

wp_enqueue_style( 'responsive_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/responsive.css' );

} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ptmjdk_theme_styles' );

function ptmjdk_theme_js() {

wp_enqueue_script( 'modernizr_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/modernizr.js', '', '', false );
wp_enqueue_script( 'script_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script.js', array('jquery'), '', true );

} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ptmjdk_theme_js' );

Please let me know there is somewhere else I should be looking?

Kind regards, Nic
