# Enqueue scripts – again

 * I know this has been asked about a million times. I’ve searched and gone through
   guides and instructions on how to do this for days and I’m clearly still doing
   something wrong. My jquery just won’t work. I’ve tried following instructions
   for registering and enqueueing the scripts, and instructions for wrapping the
   jquery, etc. Nothing seems to help. So I’m hoping that if I show you my code 
   for enqueueing the script, you can tell me what is wrong. I’ve tried several 
   different instructions for enqueueing it and apparently, I just can’t wrap my
   brain around it.
 * Here is my code:
 * function duckstyles()
    { wp_enqueue_style( ‘style’, get_template_directory_uri().‘/
   style.css’ ); wp_register_script( ‘duckapp’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/
   duckapp.js’, __FILE__, array( ‘jquery’ ), 1.0, true); wp_enqueue_script( ‘duckapp’,
   get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/duckapp.js’, __FILE__, array( ‘jquery’ ), 1.0,
   true); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘duckstyles’ );
 * my js file is located in the same directory as the functions.php file, the main
   theme directory. The CSS works. The only javascript I have for the wordpress 
   page is a script that changes the header’s class when you scroll down on the 
   page. It worked fine before I started trying to enqueue the scripts. I feel bad
   asking about something that has been posted so many times, but apparently I lack
   the ability to follow the instructions in the various websites and other posts.:/
 * Thanks.

 * Can you post a link to a page that shows the issue?

 * Sure. This is just a free-host page that I have to experiment with building custom
   themes. Trying to learn more about wordpress and such. The only javascript on
   the page is on the scroll action, when you scroll down the header class changes.
   I’ve been playing with both the enqueue and the jquery to try and make sure which
   is the issue. I mainly want to know if the above enqueue script looks correct
   or not. If it is correct, then I’ll have to figure out what else is causing the
   problem. I have seen some browser errors with loading the jquery, first identifying
   $ which I then changed to just say jquery (as instructed on several jquery noconflict
   wrap pages, and now it just seems to have an issue identifying that. -.- Either
   way, it’s weird to be a jquery issue since it was working before I started messing
   with the enqueueing – though I won’t admit it’s entirely possible I messed up
   the jquery while trying to set up enqueueing and maybe got the enqueueing correct
   but now have messed up my jquery. ha. Again, that’s why I primarily want to know
   if my enqueue script above seems correct.
 * Thanks!

 * First, you don’t need that stray `__FILE__` in there. It’s messing up the order
   of the arguments. You also don’t need to pass all those arguments to `wp_enqueue_script()`
   if you’ve already registered the script via `wp_register_script()`, as you’ve
   done.
 *     ```
       wp_register_script( 'duckapp', get_template_directory_uri() . '/duckapp.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0', true);
       wp_enqueue_script( 'duckapp' );
       ```

 * Changed it to:
 * function duckstyles()
    { wp_enqueue_style( ‘style’, get_template_directory_uri().‘/
   style.css’ ); wp_register_script( ‘duckapp’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/
   duckapp.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), 1.0, true); wp_enqueue_script( ‘duckapp’ ); }
   add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘duckstyles’ );
 * Thanks, it’s still not working. Does that look correct? If so, I’ll still digging
   into my jquery and see if I somehow messed up that when messing with everything
   else!

 * Your PHP code looks fine. In your previous post, you mentioned that you had fixed
   any potential `noConflict` issues, so that should be fine as well. Would it be
   possible to throw up a temporary site so I can see what’s going on?

 * That’s weird, I could have sworn I linked it above but the link isn’t there. 
   This is the basic wordpress page that I’ve been experimenting with. [(WordPress Page).](http://dwils.dx.am/duck/wordpress)
 * When you scroll down, the header should change class and get smaller. Looking
   at it with inspect element, I can see the network pulling in my js file, the 
   right stylesheet, jquery, etc.
 * The jquery adds the .fixed class onto the #header div and adds the .navfixed 
   class onto the nav UL, removing the .nav class. It worked fine before I started
   trying to change things to fit better with recommended wordpress code. :/

 * What’s happening here is that your entire JavaScript is wrapped in a function`
   main`, starting from line 3, but you never actually call this function, so the
   code never gets executed. If you delete the lines that wrap the function:
 * 3: `var main = function() {`
    48: `};`
 * you should be good to go.

 * Uuugh, it’s always something absurdly simple. lol. I was calling it from the 
   page and then removed that when I started setting up the enqueueing script. That
   makes sense. -.- Thanks, it’s working now!
