                </ul>
            </div>
            <!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
        </div>
        <!-- /.container -->
    </nav>

Here is my footer.php 

<script src= "<?php get_template_directory(); ?>/js/bootstrap.js"></script>

</body>
</html>

This problem drives me CRAZY!
I spent 2 hours searching for solution but nothing!

  1. You can use it for including your scripts

    function WM_Scripts(){

    wp_register_script( 'jScript', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js' );
    wp_register_script('bootstrapjs',get_template_directory_uri() .'/js/bootstrap.min.js');
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jScript' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrapjs' );

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'WM_Scripts' );

    And For stylesheet you have to use this function.

    function WM_CSS(){
    wp_register_style( 'bootstrapGrid', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );

    wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrapGrid' );

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'WM_CSS' );

    Please refer wordpress documentation for include your script into footer.
    This the right way to include your script and styles.
    And please add wp_head(); functions in your header to load script and styles.

  2. Put this code in your “functions.php” file to enqueue “/css/bootstrap.min.css”, “/style.css” and your “/js/bootstrap.js”:

    /**
 * Enqueue scripts and styles
 */
function theme_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrapcss', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'stylesheet', get_stylesheet_uri() );
    wp_enqueue_script(
            'bootstrapjs',
            get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.js',
            array(),
            '3.3.5', // Bootstrap version number
            true // Place before </body>
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_scripts' );

    Keep note, you need to set the last parameter of wp_enqueue_script to true to place your ‘/js/bootstrap.js’ before the </body> end tag. For more info visit this link.

  3. You missed echo. You must print what the function get_template_directory_uri() returns like here:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/bootstrap.js"></script>

    After that your js will work flawless.
