I am creating a block child theme of Wordpress, I need to attach my own CSS sheet and JS file. As recommended, I queued both files in functions.php with:
//dodanie własnych css i js
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_assets' );
function child_enqueue_assets() {
//css
wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
//js
wp_enqueue_script( 'script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/script.js', array( 'jquery' ),'',true );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'child_editor_styles' );
function child_editor_styles() {
add_editor_style( [
get_stylesheet_uri()
] );
}
Why is my console browser showing error 404 - JS file not found in parent theme path and not child theme (get_template_directory_uri (). '/Script.js')? I put the JS file in the child theme and hence I want it to be read, not from the parent theme location. The previously queued patch CSS file is read from the child theme. What am I doing wrong with the JS file?
CodePudding user response:
The get_template_directory_uri()
will always return the current parent theme url.
To get the child theme URI instead, you should be using get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
In your code replace the following line:
wp_enqueue_script( 'script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/script.js', array( 'jquery' ),'',true );
with
wp_enqueue_script( 'script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/script.js', array( 'jquery' ),'',true );
I hope this will help you.
