    First post to WordPress forums…

    Any ideas on why this would work:

    function add_header_scripts() {
    	echo '<script src="http://localhost:8888/wp-content/themes/myTheme/myScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
    }
    
    add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

    But this does not:

    function add_header_scripts() {
    	wp_enqueue_script('month_angel', 'http://localhost:8888/wp-content/themes/myTheme/myScript.js');
    }
    
    add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

    Code is in functions.php.

    I have also tried supplying values for all possible parameters of wp_enqueue_scripts including using null for $ver to avoid problems with appending version numbers to the script url.

    Also, I know not to hardcode the url. I will use bloginfo once this problem is solved.

    Thanks in advance!

    Solved it. For some reason, you can’t use the wp_head action. This is very unintuitive. You would think that since you include external scripts via <script> tags in the head, you would use the wp_head action.

    I changed:
    add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

    To:
    add_action('init', 'add_header_scripts');
