Can anyone tell me how to enable Bootstrap on a site using the twentyeleven theme? I followed the instructions for activating Bootstrap with the twentyfourteen theme without success.

This is the code I uploaded in the functions.php in my twentyeleven-child folder:

<?php add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' ); function theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } function my_scripts_enqueue() { wp_register_script( 'bootstrap-js', '://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), NULL, true ); wp_register_style( 'bootstrap-css', '://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css', false, NULL, 'all' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap-js' ); wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-css' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_enqueue' ); ?>

Do I have to manually activate it somehow after I upload the file?

EDIT:

I just checked my source code and discovered that I have "enabled" Bootstrap...

http://mysite://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css' type='text/css' media='all' />

The obvious problem is that the style sheet links point to my site, rather than maxcdn. Does anyone know how I can fix that?

I guess the obvious answer is to just find the files that hold the style sheet and JS links and insert the Bootstrap links manually?

The way of using script and style enqueuing is correct, I think the error here lies in the column before the double "//" prefix of maxcdn URL. Try to remove the column in both urls.

  • Thanks, I tried that, but it didn't fix the problem; it changed the URL's a bit, but the link to the Bootstrap files still include my domain name. Commented May 29, 2016 at 5:07
  • Didn't find any reference in wordpress codex, but maybe your browser/your configuration cannot handle the protocol-less urls (that is: //something.com instead of http[s]://something.com). I'd try to change the maxcdn url to standard https:// urls) Commented May 29, 2016 at 5:13

write the following in your code

<?php add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' ); function theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } function my_scripts_enqueue() { wp_register_script( 'bootstrap-js', 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), NULL, true ); wp_register_style( 'bootstrap-css', 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css', false, NULL, 'all' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap-js' ); wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-css' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_enqueue' ); ?>

it will download your file
