Wordpress - How to enqueue JavaScripts in a plugin
Your code seems correct, but it will load the script only in admin area beacuse you are enqueuing the script in admin_enqueue_scripts
action.
To load the script in frontend, use wp_enqueue_scripts
action (which is not the same that wp_enqueue_script()
function):
function Zumper_widget_enqueue_script() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_custom_script', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'js/jquery.repeatable.js' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'Zumper_widget_enqueue_script');
Also, that script seems to depends on jQuery, so you should declare that dependencie or the script can be loaded before jQuery and it won't work. Also, I strongly recommend to declare the version of the scripot. This way, if you update the script to a new version, the browser will donwload it again and discard the copy it may have on cache.
For example, if the version of the script is 1.0:
function Zumper_widget_enqueue_script() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_custom_script', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'js/jquery.repeatable.js', array('jquery'), '1.0' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'Zumper_widget_enqueue_script');
If you want to load it in admin area:
function Zumper_widget_enqueue_script() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_custom_script', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'js/jquery.repeatable.js', array('jquery'), '1.0' );
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'Zumper_widget_enqueue_script');
