 * I build a custom theme from localhost site using XAMPP and PhpAdmin i added couple
   Javascripts to get page running and it was working all good.
 * Until right after I export entire WP core from local to my site host. , When 
   I returned back to WP admin on local host to take a look on my theme realize 
   it admin is not detecting any javascript or getting my page to work that runs
   with Javascript.
 * Yes, I have added code inside function.php
    add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,’
   mytheme_scripts_function’); wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’) wp_enqueue_script(‘myjs’,
   get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/myjs.js’);
 * Are there any solution or any way to get WP Admin to recongize theme’s Javascript
   and have it running?

 * wp_enqueue_scripts is for the frontend if I’m not mistaked…

 * Thanks for replying… I am not sure I get you entirely…
 * From my understating… I coded wp_enqueue_script inside function.php in order 
   to get my theme to recognize Javascript. However, I don’t think its problem with
   my theme… It has to do with WP admin because I tried with several theme that 
   have Javascript coded. none of them are working.
 * So more likely WP Admin is the culprit.

 * aplogies, I misread your OP, and thought you were looking to brings scripts specifically
   into the admin side of things.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script)
   
   possibly register the scrpit prior to enqueue?
 * ALso, I see you add_action – mytheme_scripts_function, but I don’t see where 
   you define it… what is inside that function?
 * Or did you mean to regsiter and enqueue your scripts within that function?

 * Here let me rephrase… I have registered and define WP_enqueue in function.php.
   and here’s the code
 *     ```
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','ALP-scripts_function');
       function ALP-scripts_function() {
               //theme options
       	global $options;
   
       	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');	
   
       	// js
       	wp_enqueue_script('hover', get_template_directory_uri() . '/asset/js/jquery.hoverIntent.minified.js');
   
              	}
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * But this isn’t problem I am looking at because this code works perfectly on my
   localhost wordpress admin before I export it to live site.
 * When I returning back to localhost wordpress Admin, working on same theme again,
   the Javascript on theme doesn’t load up, I confirmed by switching another free
   theme with javascript by other developer. They don’t work either.
 * So the culprit is WordPress on localhost that is not detecting or loading javascript
   at all and I was hoping someone or you know the solution to it?
