How to add .JS files to Child Theme?

Hi esmi,

Thanks for your help.

Those links seem to be more concerned with standard Theme development, as opposed to Child Theme development.

How, for example, would you include a link to a .jpg or .gif? As the:

<img src="<?php bloginfo(template_url); ?>/images/myimage.jpg />

– tag only references the Parent theme, so, does this mean that I will have to write a PHP function in my functions.php file for every single call to a file (img, js, css, etc.) that is local only to my child theme?

It seems the above suggestion doesn’t work, as using <?php bloginfo(stylesheet_url); ?> gets the url of the actual stylesheet.

For example using <?php bloginfo(stylesheet_url); ?> would bring the following: http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css

– and not the desired Child Theme directory.

I’m looking for a way to reference files inside of the child theme, but using your last suggestion would bring this:

www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css/js/myjavascript.js

which obviously doesn’t work as required. Any suggestions?

Thanks esmi, that helped.

For anyone else following this, I was looking for the correct Child theme bloginfo references explained here:
