  1. Use a functions.php file inside your theme template add this :

    <?php

function add_this_script_footer(){ ?>

[YOUR JS CODE HERE]

<?php } 

add_action('wp_footer', 'add_this_script_footer'); ?>

  2. For an external javascript file to be linked in the footer, use this (>= WP2.8)

    function my_javascripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'the-script-handle', 
                       'path/to/file.js', 
                       array( 'jquery','other_script_that_we_depend_on' ), 
                       'scriptversion eg. 1.0', 
                       true);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_javascripts' );

    That last true means that the script should be put at the wp_footer() hook.

  3. Hum may be it’s too late to answer, but if anyone else comes here with the same problem :

    There is a plugin to do this :
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/footer-javascript/

    Or you can doing this manually by adding this short code in your functions.php :

    /**
 * Automatically move JavaScript code to page footer, speeding up page loading time.
 */
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_scripts');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_head_scripts', 9);
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 1);
add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_print_scripts', 5);
add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 5);
add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_print_head_scripts', 5);

  4. Use a functions.php file inside your theme (or child theme if exists) template add this:

    function add_this_script_footer() { 
?>
<script>
`enter code here`
</script>
<?php } 
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_this_script_footer');

  5. Simply

    1. Upload your javascript file as a media, (the same way you will upload images and videos)
    2. Get the link to the file, (it will look something like this http://your-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/index.js or different depending on the site settings you have.
    3. At the bottom of your wordpress page, add a Custom HTML link block and type <script src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/index.js"></script>. Do not include the http://your-domain.com.
    4. If you are adding more custom HTML code, make sure to add the script at the end of your html code.

    And there you have it.
