Why script not showing at footer section in wordpress?

0 Views

I am trying to add jquery to my wordpress theme. I have used this code 

function theme_name_scripts() {

    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery',true);
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_name_scripts' );

But it is showing at head section . Not in footer section. What is the reason?

  1. Try replacing:

    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery',true);

    With this

    wp_register_script('jquery', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.js', false, null, true);
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

    All that is saying is load the the JS file called jQuery that can be found in the ‘js’ folder of your theme folder.

    Although I would always load in Google’s CDN version as recommended here:

    EDIT

    Alternatively, you could try putting a number at the end of the function line…like this:

    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery',true,11);

    EDIT
    Maybe try this approach: How can I include Jquery in my WordPress footer?

  2. Why script not showing at footer section in wordpress?

    Because it’s already registered for header, by default, WordPress does it.

    You may use (an easy workaround)

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery','/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js','','',true);

    You can’t omit optional parameters like you did in here wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery',true); and following won’t work

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery','','','',true);

    Also remember that, this ($in_footer, to put the script in footer) requires the theme to have the wp_footer() template tag in the appropriate place. Read this article.

    Also, you may use

    wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
wp_register_script(
    'jquery',
    // you can use "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" for latest version
    /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js,
    false,
    false,
    true
);
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );

    Also, check this generator, it gave me following code generated by options I’ve chosen

    // Register Script
function custom_scripts() {
    wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
    wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js', false, false, true );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
// Hook into the 'wp_enqueue_scripts' action
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_scripts' );

    You can generate your own code using this tool very easily.
