In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to add custom JavaScript files to your WordPress child theme. This lets you extend your site’s functionality without directly editing core theme files. 💾 We’ll cover:

• Creating a custom JavaScript file (custom.js)
• Referencing your script using functions.php
• Common troubleshooting tips
• Example: We’ll create a simple cookie notification pop-up to demonstrate the process. 🍪
