Essentially I can seem to get jquery to run in wordpress. Here, i have set up a test page to demonstrate - https://www.painandinjurysolutions.co.uk/155-2/.
I am using a tutorials code - http://codepen.io/Guilh/pen/JLKbn
var mn = $(".main-nav");
mns = "main-nav-scrolled";
hdr = $('header').height();
$(window).scroll(function() {
if( $(this).scrollTop() > hdr ) {
mn.addClass(mns);
} else {
mn.removeClass(mns);
}
});* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding-top: 250px;
}
header {
height: 300px;
padding-top: 50px;
background: #f07057;
}
.main-nav,
.main {
position: relative;
}
.main-nav {
background: #fff;
height: 80px;
z-index: 150;
margin-bottom: -80px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4);
}
header,
.main-nav-scrolled {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
}
.main {
background: #f2f2e8;
padding: 110px 50px 50px;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 40px;
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<header>
<h1>This is a Sticky Nav Demo!</h1>
<p>Creating one of these isn't so bad. Let's learn how with this sweet little demo!</p>
</header>
<nav class="main-nav">
<a href="#">Nav Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Nav Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Nav Link 3</a>
<a href="#">Nav Link 4</a>

</div>which is all exactly the same as show but i have replaced all the jquery selectors "$" with "jQuery".
The script loads in the eventlister 'scroll > window' like it should, but nothing visually occurs on page scroll (nav bar should stick to the top of the page as you scroll down). I have a feeling i have not enqueued it properly or something or perhaps called the right dependencies, but i do not understand why it loads in the page but does nothing.
my relavent functions snippet is:
function verdigris_script() {
// register your script location, dependencies and version
wp_register_script('custom_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/scripts.js', array('jquery'));
//css
//wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css', array(), 'all');
wp_enqueue_style('customstyle', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/verdigris-style.css', array(), 'all');
//js
//wp_enqueue_script('bootstrapjs', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array(), true);
wp_enqueue_script('custom_js');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'verdigris_script');
