JS not showing up in source

I can't get the js file for flexslider to show up in my source code.

Can someone please take a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I've checked it and redone it numerous times.

''' <?php //Load the Theme CSS function theme_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'grid', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/grid.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'google', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sorts+Mill+Goudy:400,400italic' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'social', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/webfonts/ss-social.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexslider.css' );


}

function theme_js() {

wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/flexslider.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
    if( is_page( 'home' ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' );

    }

}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js' );

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );

//Enable custom menus add_theme_support( 'menus' );

?>

'''

Thanks, Kelly

Is your js file in the correct folder? Is the footer working correctly? Also, is the name of your home page correct (It is case sensitive)?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the response. Yes on all of the above. I finally just removed the if statement and it's fine. I would actually prefer not to limit it anyway. I was only doing it because it was part of the tutorial. I can go back when I'm finished and try and see what I did wrong, but for now it's good.

Thanks again for the response. Kelly
