I'm trying to load a simple jQuery script into a WP footer (using an Avada child theme). I've done it before, but nothing's happening. Can anyone spot my error?

In functions.php:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpalert' ); 
function wpalert() {
wp_register_script('wpalert', '--hardcoded root--', array ( 'jquery' ), null, true);
wp_enqueue_script('wpalert');
}

In my .js file:

$(document).ready(function(){
  alert("test");
})

  • What does html says? Do you see your script there? When does its loading? What error you getting in your 'js' file... so many questions. Commented Jan 12, 2018 at 15:08

  • Code turned out to be fine actually - needed to put a jquery link in Avada child theme's header.php file. I'd read that WP included jquery automatically, but apparently not. Commented Jan 12, 2018 at 16:51
