Hello,

I have a counter on my homepage, developed by a friend and each time I update the theme, I have to do this :
– add comerso.js file in Enfold / js
– add this code at the bottom of footer.php
```
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/comerso.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
```
Today, I’ve created a child theme.
Do I have to create a js folder to put my comerso.js file?
And to change footer.php, how can I add my code at the bottom, but getting the update of the rest of the file?

Tx for your help! I give you all the credentials below.

Hey newki75,
Please add your comerso.js file in a js folder in your child theme, then enqueue it by adding this script to your child theme functions.php:
```
 // Register and enqueue scripts
function my_custom_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'comerso',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/comerso.js',
        array( 'jquery' )
    );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_custom_scripts' ); 
```
it will then be loaded with your site in the footer.
You can read more about it here: How to add Custom JS or PHP Script

Best regards,
Mike

```
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/comerso.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
```
Tx for your help!

Tx Mike, it works perfectly :-)
My updates will be easier / quicker now.
Have a nice day, you can close the issue :-)
(Enfold is definitely my favorite theme, better than Avada ! with a great support)
