[Resolved] How to manually install Highlight.js?

[Marthur]

Morning,

What would be the best method of manually installing highlight.js in WordPress? I reviewed the instructions, but wanted to know if there is a way to do this via the child theme’s functions.php file.

My child theme’s functions.php file currently looks like:

<?php
/**
 * GeneratePress child theme functions and definitions.
 *
 * Add your custom PHP in this file. 
 * Only edit this file if you have direct access to it on your server (to fix errors if they happen).
 */

function generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts() {
	if ( is_rtl() ) {
		wp_enqueue_style( 'generatepress-rtl', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'rtl.css' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts', 100 );
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
add_filter('jpeg_quality', function($arg){return 100;});
?>

Nevermind, I figured it out.

1. Uploaded necessary files to site (CSS and JS files).
2. Using GP Hooks, added the following to wp_head:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/styles/default.css">
<script src="/path/to/highlight.pack.js"></script>
<script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script>
