Trying to add extra javascript / css functions to theme

Hi and thanks in advance.

I’m not an absolute beginner but not a developer either. Trying to build my own site. working on a localhost and have a partially updated live version up.

Using bootstrapwp-v1 by rachael baker as my base theme and have created a static page as the front page. I can get some of the bootstrap functionality going but I want to include some functionality from different bootstrap themes (an up button that fades in and out, isotope gallery, touch touch etc) into the theme that I am working with.

I am stuck on this: wordpress will read and enque the scripts that are included in my base theme, but I cannot seem to get wordpress to recognize other javascript and jquery so that I can activate the other functions that I want to include. perhaps not being called correctly or paths or syntax? How do I do this?

I think that I need to put code in the head, page and footer as well as functions php. I don’t know. Any help appreciated

Thanks again
