I want to add a small simple jquery-script to my site.
I checked the “Site-specific JS” checkbox; but when I add my scripts in script-starter.js nothing happens. Even an alert-message for testing does not respond. Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong in adding javascript?

Are you using some browser developer tool like Firebug so that you can get access to the browser’s console log?

Okay; I just found out I have to rename script-starter.js to script.js.
Now it works.
Thanks

Hi, I have similar issue:

I checked the “Site-specific JS” checkbox, I rename script-starter.js to script.js and add the code in the footer (<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://my-site.com/wp-content/themes/boilerplate/js/script.js’></script>) but it still not working… what else do I need to do?

the version of my theme is 4.4.1

@joga3001: you shouldn’t have to add any code to the page, checking the “Site-specific JS” checkbox should add the <script> tag to the page for you.

and that should just do it…

you have a URL i could look at?
