I have some js which, rather than register and enqueue, I add directly to a page template.

Currently located outside of WP, I use

<script type="text/javascript" src="/apps/js/amplitude/amplitude.js"></script>

If I move it to a js folder inside my theme, how do I then include it in a template without hardcoding a root-relative path... can I use something like get_template_directory_uri?

Yes, you can use get_template_directory_uri to refer to the theme root path. 

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/amplitude/amplitude.js"></script>

But prefered way of doing is to use wp_enqueue_script().

  • Thanks. I usually register/enqueue, but this adds extra flexibility (and is useful for quick tests of new js).
