Additional JS

Additional JS section in the Customizer allows you to add custom JavaScript code directly to your site without editing theme files.

Here's how to use this feature:

Customizing with Additional JS:

  • Accessing Additional JS:

    • Go to Appearance > Customize.

    • Look for the Additional JS or similar section (depending on the theme).

  • Adding Custom JavaScript:

    • In the Additional JS field, you can write or paste your custom JavaScript code.

    • This code will be applied site-wide, affecting all pages where the theme is used.

  • Best Practices:

    • Enclose your code: Use <script></script> tags only if required by your theme. Often, these tags are not needed in the Customizer’s Additional JS field.

    • Test your code: Before applying complex scripts, test them in a development environment to avoid breaking the site.

    • Optimize performance: Avoid adding heavy or unnecessary scripts that could slow down your site.

  • Common Uses:

    • Adding interactive elements like sliders or modals.

    • Customizing behavior of theme elements.

    • Integrating third-party services or analytics that require additional scripts.

Example:

To add a simple alert when the homepage loads:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    if (window.location.pathname === '/') {
        alert('Welcome to the homepage!');
    }
});
