Trying to replicate a web app

    I’m been using wordpress for a few years now and have brought my site up to around 8k visits per day. So far it’s been mostly fine, I’ve been able to figure out how to do most of what I want by Google searching. However, now I have hit a stumbling block.

    What I’m trying to do is add a simple web app/calculator to my site. I found another site that has something close to the same thing I’m trying to build (https://omerk.github.io/lcdchargen/), and there’s a comment in the source code that says it’s basically free ware if I credit the authors. So I’m planning to use it as a starting point for my calculator.

    My problem is that the source code appears to contain at least HTML, CSS, and either JavaScript or jQuery (not 100% sure though). I tried copy/pasting the source code directly into the post text editor to see if I could replicate the web app, but most of the elements and functionality are missing.

    Does anyone have any advice on how to make this work? I have limited knowledge of CSS and Javascript but if I at least knew what to google for or how to begin I think I could figure it out.

    First off you will need to be using a custom theme or a child theme.

    The HTML goes in your post or page template.

    CSS goes in the theme’s stylesheet or gets enqueued in the theme’s functions

    All jquery/Javascript will go in a js file and enqueued into the theme via the functions file as well.
