How do I enqueue a script in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:34 am

An enqueue script in WordPress is a great way to get your scripts running on your site without having to manually execute them. To enqueue a script in WordPress, go to the Tools menu and select the Enqueue Script command. You’ll then be prompted to enter the name of the script you want to enqueue. After you’ve entered the script’s name, WordPress will return you to the Enqueue Script command’s main screen where you can set some basic options.

PRO TIP: When adding a script to your WordPress site, it is important to use the proper function for enqueuing the script. Failing to do so can result in errors or unexpected behavior on your site.

The most important setting here is the Script Execution Path, which tells WordPress where to find the script when it’s time to run it. You can also specify a Script Output Path, which will be the location where the script’s output will be saved. Finally, you can choose whether or not the script should be executed immediately or queued for execution at a later time. After you’ve set all your options, click the Enqueue Script button to send the script onto your site.
