Where Do I Add JavaScript in WordPress?

JavaScript can be added to a WordPress site in a few different ways. The most common way is to add it through the WordPress admin area by uploading a JavaScript file and adding it to the HEAD section of your document.

However, JavaScript can also be added through the WordPress built-in editor or by using a WordPress plugin.

When adding JavaScript through the WordPress admin area, it’s important to keep in mind that WordPress will try to load any files that it finds in the HEAD section of your document first. This means that you’ll likely want to put your JavaScript file near the top of your document.

Additionally, you’ll need to make sure that your JavaScript file is named properly – it should start with “js” and have a “.js” extension.

When adding JavaScript through the WordPress built-in editor, you’ll need to make sure that your document is well-organized. WordPress will look for files with the same name and extension as your JavaScript file, so you’ll need to make sure that your file is named correctly and that it’s placed in the correct location.

Additionally, you’ll need to make sure that your JavaScript code is well-formatted – WordPress will not allow code that is missing semicolons, for example.

Finally, if you’re using a WordPress plugin, you’ll need to ensure that your plugin includes the JavaScript code that your site needs. If your plugin doesn’t include the code that your site needs, you’ll need to write your own code or find a plugin that includes the code that you need.
