-<p>2020-05-05</p>
-<p>Throughout my career designing, developing and auditing WordPress themes, I&#8217;ve come across many that include their custom styles &#47; scripts as static HTML elements inside their respective <code>header</code> and <code>footer</code> templates. This is perfectly <em>fine</em>, but there is a cleaner way to include these files.</p>
-<p>This post is purposefully catered for WordPress beginners, so if this seems overly simple, then you&#8217;re probably already developing WordPress themes that utilize these techniques. (Which is awesome!)</p>
-<h2 id="introducing-wp-enqueue">Introducing WP Enqueue</h2>
-<p>The description of Wp Enqueue from the WordPress documentation:</p>
-<p>In a nutshell: Placing a <code>wp_enqueue_script</code> or <code>wp_enqueue_style</code> script in the <code>functions.php</code> of your custom theme tells WordPress to pull external files into the header or footer of your website. Best practice being: <em>styles into the header, scripts into the footer</em>.</p>
-<p>I suggest you read the official documentation for more details: <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_script/">wp_enqueue_script</a> and <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/">wp_enqueue_style</a>.</p>
-<h2 id="enqueue-stylesheets">Enqueue Stylesheets</h2>
-<p>The default script to enqueue a CSS stylesheet:</p>
-<pre><code>wp_enqueue_style( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $media );
-</code></pre>
-<ul>
-<li><code>$handle</code> - the name associated with your stylesheet</li>
-<li><code>$src</code> - URL pointing to the directory of the stylesheet itself</li>
-<li><code>$deps</code> - An array of any other stylesheets needed as dependencies</li>
-<li><code>$ver</code> - The version number of the stylesheet (used for cache busting)</li>
-<li><code>$media</code> - Specify media type (<code>all</code>, <code>print</code>, <code>screen</code>, etc.)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>So, with all those parameters in mind, here is what a standard default enqueue of a CSS stylesheet looks like:</p>
-<pre><code>wp_enqueue_style( &#39;google-fonts&#39;, &#39;https:&#47;&#47;fonts.googleapis.com&#47;css?family=Montserrat:200,300,300i,400,600,700,800,900&#39;, &#39;&#39;, &#39;1.0&#39;, &#39;&#39;);
-</code></pre>
-<p>In this example we have rendered the following:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><code>$handle</code>: google-fonts</li>
-<li><code>$src</code>: <a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:200,300,300i,400,600,700,800-">https:&#47;&#47;fonts.googleapis.com&#47;css?family=Montserrat:200,300,300i,400,600,700,800-</a> 0</li>
-<li><code>$deps</code>: Null (left blank)</li>
-<li><code>$ver</code>: 1.0</li>
-<li><code>$media</code>: Null (left blank)</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Important:</strong> Keep in mind that the <code>wp_enqueue_style</code> script will render the stylesheet link into the WordPress header automatically.</p>
-<h2 id="enqueue-scripts">Enqueue Scripts</h2>
-<p>The default script to enqueue an external JS file:</p>
-<pre><code>wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer );
-</code></pre>
-<ul>
-<li><code>$handle</code> - the name associated with your script</li>
-<li><code>$src</code> - URL pointing to the directory of the script itself</li>
-<li><code>$deps</code> - An array of any other scripts needed as dependencies</li>
-<li><code>$ver</code> - The version number of the script (used for cache busting)</li>
-<li><code>$in_footer</code> - Set whether the script is loaded in the <code>&#60;head&#62;</code> or just before the <code>&#60;&#47;body&#62;</code></li>
-</ul>
-<p>With all those parameters in mind, here is what a standard default enqueue of a Javascript file looks like:</p>
-<pre><code>wp_enqueue_script( &#39;bxslider&#39;, get_template_directory_uri() . &#39;&#47;js&#47;bxslider.js&#39;, array(&#39;jquery&#39;), &#39;1.0.0&#39;, true );
-</code></pre>
-<p>In this example we have rendered the following:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><code>$handle</code>: bxslider</li>
-<li><code>$src</code>: get_template_directory_uri() . &#47;js&#47;bxslider.js&#8217;</li>
-<li><code>$deps</code>: array(jquery&#8217;)</li>
-<li><code>$ver</code>: 1.0.0</li>
-<li><code>$in_footer</code>: True (<em>places script before closing body tag</em>)</li>
-</ul>
-<h2 id="packaging-everything-together">Packaging Everything Together</h2>
-<p>Now that we have the custom stylesheet and script ready to be loaded into our custom WordPress theme, we just need to properly package them together as a function in our <code>functions.php</code> file:</p>
-<pre><code>&#47;&#47; Add styles and scripts to the header&#47;footer
-function custom_enqueue_scripts() {
- wp_enqueue_style( &#39;google-fonts&#39;, &#39;https:&#47;&#47;fonts.googleapis.com&#47;css?family=Montserrat:200,300,300i,400,600,700,800,900&#39;);
- wp_enqueue_script( &#39;bxslider&#39;, get_template_directory_uri() . &#39;&#47;js&#47;bxslider.js&#39;, array(&#39;jquery&#39;), &#39;1.0.0&#39;, true );
-}
-
-add_action( &#39;wp_enqueue_scripts&#39;, &#39;custom_enqueue_scripts&#39;);
-</code></pre>
-<p>That&#8217;s it! Hopefully this helps prevent WordPress newbies from statically rendering their external CSS and JS files directly in template files. Let WordPress do that for you!</p>
