 * I am having trouble linking up to js files from my child theme. Looking at the
   code it tells me that the theme is looking back to the-bootstrap theme for the
   files I’m adding.
 * I’ve created a new functions.php file in my child theme, I’ve tried adding the
   link into the header as well.
 * How can I correctly do this?
 * My site is built locally right now so I don’t have a public site to link to.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi, it sounds like you used `get_template_directory_uri()` rather than `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`,
   when you registered your scripts.
 * See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory_uri](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory_uri)
 * Best,
    Konstantin
