Enqueuing scripts and styles in WordPress prevents conflicts and ensures resources load properly. Using wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script in functions.php allows developers to load files conditionally and manage dependencies.
function custom_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style('custom-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/style.css');
wp_enqueue_script('custom-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script.js', array('jquery'), '', true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts');
