Javascript file responsible for wordpress top menu bar ?

Hi,

I am currently taking the course - Creating a wordpress theme. When wp_footer is added to footer.php the javascript files are loaded, and a wordpress menubr appears on top. Could someone please tell me which javascript file in the project has the code to produce the html for the same ? Does it come inbuilt with wordpess? I currently have foundation, modernizr and app.js files in the script folder and I know app.js is not responsible for this. Could someone plz help so that I will have a better clarity? TIA Regards, Ammu

Hi Ammu Nair,

If I understand correctly you are asking why you don't have some JS files into the HTML when removing wp_footer() from footer.php

The wp_footer() function contains the wp_footer action that prints scripts or data before the closing body tag on the front end.

So to answer your question you can change the last parameter of wp_enqueue_script() to false to put the script in header instead of footer. However you should not remove wp_footer() from footer.php under any circumstance.
