 * So i found this jquery script for parallax [http://parallax-scroll.aenism.com/](http://parallax-scroll.aenism.com/)
   and wanted to use it on my website. But no matter how many times i tried, reading
   various how-to include jquery plugins in wordpress and such i can’t get it working.
 * I’m still newbie (started working with wordpress 2 weeks ago with some basic 
   html + css + basic php knowledge) so i don’t even know how to check if i even
   loaded .js file properly :/
 * Dropped downloaded .js file to child theme directory/js/ and loaded it in function.
   php
 *     ```
       function parallax_scripts() {
           wp_register_script('parallax', home_url() . '/js/jquery.parallax-scroll.js', array( 'jquery' ));
           wp_enqueue_script('parallax');
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'parallax_scripts' );
       ```
   
 * As for intiializing plugin i can’t really get what’s it about. Read somehwere
   that i have to put “call”
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
               $('.bg-holder').parallaxScroll({
               friction: 0.5
               });
       </script>
       ```
   
 * somwhere in html file i will use script on so i put it in index.php.
 * Next using siteorigin page builder i added bg-holder class to row with background-
   image but nothings happend. Spend few hours trying various things i read everywhere
   but i guess it’s still to early for me so i want to ask her for someone to tell
   me how i can do it.
