How To Enqueue Css And Js File Using WordPress

In this article, we will learn how to enqueue style and script in WordPress.

We will start by enqueue using two functions wp_enqueue_style() and wp_enqueue_script(). Both the two functions have the first 4 parameters that are the same and the last one is different.

syntax:

wp_enqueue_style( string $handle, string $src = '', array $deps = array(), string|bool|null $ver = false, string $media = 'all' )

wp_enqueue_script( string $handle, string $src = '', array $deps = array(), string|bool|null $ver = false, bool $in_footer = false )

Explanation:

• $handle : (string) (Required) Name of the stylesheet. Should be unique.
• $src: (string) (Optional) Full URL of the stylesheet, or path of the stylesheet.
• $deps: (array) (Optional) An array of registered stylesheet handles this stylesheet depends on.
  Default value: array()
• $ver: (Optional)
  • String: specifying stylesheet version number.
  • Bool: If the version is set to false, a version number is automatically added equal to the current installed WordPress version.
  • Null: no version is added.
• $media: (Optional)
  string: The media for which this stylesheet has been defined. Accepts media types like ‘all’, ‘print’ and ‘screen’, or media queries like ‘(orientation: portrait)’ and ‘(max-width: 640px)’.
  Default value: ‘all’
• $in_footer: This parameter is only available for scripts. If set to true the script is loaded through wp_footer() at the bottom of your page.
  Default value: false

Here is an example code:

1.  put this below function in your theme’s functions.php.

2. <?php
     function thecodehubs_enqueue_script_style() {
       wp_enqueue_style( 'stylesheet', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), '1.0.0', 'all');
       wp_enqueue_script( 'custom_js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/custom.js', array(), '1.0.0', true );
     }
     add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'thecodehubs_enqueue_script_style' );
   ?>

Output:

style.css

custom.js

if you want to enqueue style and script for administration panel then use add_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘thecodehubs_enqueue_script_style’ );
