 * Hi there! We’ll need some more information to take a look. Can you please reply
   with a link to your site? Also, where is this script being added? Also, what 
   is this script meant to do? What kind of function/feature are you trying to add
   with it?
 * From what you have shared so far, it appears to be going into the original theme
   folder, however to avoid losing all of your edits when the theme updates, you’ll
   need to use a chid theme.
 * If you haven’t made a child theme before, these instructions are helpful: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/)
 * There is also more information on child themes here: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * Thanks!
