   of what needs done.

 * It’s about manually writing and adding custom code.
 * If you can’t figure that out, then use a plugin. All a plugin does is add pre-
   written custom code for you automatically.

 * Hi [@infernoprime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/infernoprime/) 
   You can
   add these in your theme. Styles you can add in your theme style.css file, and
   the function you can add on your functions.php file and to add the scripts, you
   can create and enqueue the js file to add JavaScript codes.
