Loading WP core Thickbox through frontend

3 Views

Looking through some of the top Google results, this question has been answered a number of times, but the answers given don’t seem to be working in my WP 3.6 install.

One solution given is this:

function my_thickbox() {
   if (!is_admin()) {
      wp_enqueue_script('thickbox', null,  array('jquery'), true);
      wp_enqueue_style('thickbox.css', includes_url('/js/thickbox/thickbox.css'), null, '1.0');
   }
}
add_action('init', 'my_thickbox');

Another was this: add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_thickbox' ).

I’ve also tried using this add_thickbox() with no success.

All of these approaches seem to successfully load thickbox.css, but no JS file is showing up. I can manually go and include the path to thickbox.js, but that seems less desirable given that all of this seems to be handled by the core in script-loader.php.

  1. You need to add a call of wp_footer(); function. Do it before closing body tag in your footer.php file. It should look like this:

            <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    </body>
</html>
