GPP / Child Theme / DOM Event
5 replies · Started by Jan on March 27, 2021
Hi David,
I need to add the following custom dome event to the function.php of the child theme:
<script>
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
location = 'http://example.com/';
}, false );
</script>Unfortunately I keep getting an error message saying:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file in /mnt/web408/e3/19/59617319/htdocs/STRATO-apps/wordpress_01/app/wp-content/themes/generatepresschild/functions.php on line 18
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Jan
Hi there,
thats Javascript and should not be added directly to the Functions.php .... you need to hook the code in place.
Simplest method is to add it using a Hook element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/
And select the wp_footer hook.
If you must add it to the functions.php then you would add the hook first eg.
add_action('wp_footer', function() {
?>
// Add your script here
<?php
});Many thanks David.
I’ll follow your advice re the hook element and then let you know accordingly.
