 * I am trying to move this site to a new server. This page works just fine on the
   old server. On the new one, my theme seems to be ignoring includes in my theme
   files.
 * Here is the old server page that works.
    [http://www.davishomes.com/neighborhoods/davis-communities/](http://www.davishomes.com/neighborhoods/davis-communities/)
 * The new one that doesn’t work.
    [http://staging.davishomes.com/neighborhoods/davis-communities/](http://staging.davishomes.com/neighborhoods/davis-communities/)
 *     ```
       <?
       function map_scripts() {
         wp_enqueue_script('google-maps', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_API_KEY', '', '');
         wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery_ui_map', '/wp-includes/js/jquery.ui.map/jquery.ui.map.full.min.js', array(), '1.0.0', true );  
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'map_scripts' );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The above code is one of my includes called “map_scripts.php.”
 * And I am including it with:
 *     ```
       include("map_scripts.php");
       ```
   
 * Any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fenqueue-scripts-being-ignored%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks! Any ideas why that would work on one server, but not another?

 * I am changing the opening tag and removing the closing tag. But I am getting 
   a different error.

 * as [@jaycbrf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaycbrf/) pointed out, it is
   customary to not include a closing tag `?>` but every PHP page should open with`
   <?php`. It worked on your old server because php was probably configured to accept“
   short tags”.

 * Ahh, that makes sense.
 * Any idea as to why I am getting the error “Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized
   expression: .” on my code above?

 * hmmm, not 100% sure but that reference to the wp-includes folder is suspect. 
   You can load jQuery simply with `wp_enqueue_script('jquery');`.

 * I changed the jquery call, but it didn’t change the results. From everything 
   I have read so far, the dot (.) is correctly used.
 *     ```
         wp_enqueue_style('normalize', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/jplist/css/vendor/normalize.css');
       ```

 * yes, the dot is correctly used. I just was pointing out that it is not standard
   practice to make calls to wp-includes. jQuery is already registered by default.
 * Have you enabled debugging?

 * you can enable debugging by adding `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );` to your wp-config
   file. It would help to know exactly where the error occurs such as a line number.

 * I didn’t even notice that – jQuery and jQuery UI are included with WP core. Enqueueing
   them again will cause JS errors.
 * wp-includes>js>jquery
    and wp-includes>js>jquery>ui
 * You are loading a plethora of duplicate scripts – take a look in the includes
   folder to see what WP already has…

 * I will do that jaycbrf. I inherited this site, so I am discovering things as 
   I go through it. PHP shortcodes was the issue I was having. I will eventually
   changed them, but for now, I enabled them on the server.
 * Thanks for everyone’s help!
