<p>To load additional JavaScript files just put them into a directory named <strong>jsautoload</strong>. This directory can be placed in three different locations that are loaded in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li>Child Theme dependent (if using a Child Theme) : in the Child Theme’s directory</li>
<li>Theme dependent : in the Theme’s directory</li>
<li>Theme independent : in the wp-content directory</li>
</ul>
<p>Only files with extension .js are added, all other files are ignored. Subdirectories can be used and will also be scanned. To ignore a complete directory (including all subdirectories) name the directory beginning with an underscore (_). The files are added in alphabetical order. Directories always are added <strong>after</strong> files.</p>
<p>To load one ore more JavaScript files at the end of your HTML file just place them into a directory named <strong>footer</strong>. To add the files to the footer of your theme it is required to call wp_footer() in your footer.php.</p>
