Centric Pro AJAX request(s)

[bluebird]

Hi,

I am trying to display likes and followers via several API calls on the front page of the Centric Pro theme that I am working on. I have been somewhat successful so far, though the Twitter API requires extra PHP files which I have not been able to sync up properly.

Here are the paths to the JS files that I have queued up successfully:

 wp_enqueue_script( 'social-counters', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/socialCounters.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );
   wp_enqueue_script( 'social-counter-functions', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/socialCounterFunctions.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );

..and here is my failed attempt to link up the associated PHP files for Twitter via functions.php:

 function link_twitter() { ?>
	 <script>
	 	jQuery(function($) {
	  console.log("here");
		$('.home').load('twitter/index.php');
		$('.home').load('twitter/twitterAPIExchange.php');
		alert("finished loading");
		});
	});
</script>
	 <?php }

I do not see any errors in the console, but still the Twitter API does not work.

What could I be missing?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

PS. This is the site that I'm working on: http://www.testing.firebugmusic.com

You are trying to load php files into an HTML document. PHP executes on the server, not in the client. For PHP files, you have to include them in functions.php. Assuming twitter is a subdirectory of your child theme, you would only have to add this to functions.php:

include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/twitter/index.php' );
include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/twitterAPIExchange.php' );
