Child Theme : Adding jquery plugin to my child theme

I am trying to figure out how to add a jquery plugin i want to use on my site.

At the moment i have it hard coded into the header.

What is the best way to include it into my child theme.

On an aside which may be related – i have been trying to include another php file into my child theme

using <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/somefile.php’ ); ?>

This looks for it in the Parent theme file and not the child.

What am i missing?

well, for jquery plugin, use wp_enqueue_script in the child theme’s functions.php

for your other problem, use this code

<?php include_once(get_stylesheet_directory().'/somefile.php');?>

This should solve the problem.

The TEMPLATEPATH will point to parent theme not to the child theme.

to include another php file into my child theme e.g. somefile.php which is also in your child theme folder, simply done as …

<?pho include ('somefile.php'); ?>

just use:

<?php locate_template( array( 'somefile.php' ), true ) ?>

Then you don’t have to worry about templatepath or stylesheetpath.
