I am trying to enqueue a hover function in my functios.php of my child theme, so that when hovering over a title, a div with a text will be visible. The code I am using is this:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'home_game', 20);
function home_game(){
?>
<script>
let title1 = document.getElementById("home-title1");
title1.addEventListener('mouseover', mouseOver);
title1.addEventListener('mouseout', mouseOut);
function mouseOver(){
document.getElementById('title-box').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('home-box1').style.display = 'block';
}
function mouseOut(){
document.getElementById('title-box').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('home-box1').style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
<?php
}
It works in my fiddle so I guess the problem is in my php, I am fairly new with it… Any help or clue will be very appreciated!

You can add your JS to a file in your child theme /js/example.js
, then enqueue it like this:
//add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_theme_name_scripts' );
function wpdocs_theme_name_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'script-name', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/example.js', [], '1.0.0', true );
}
Alternatively, you can add the styles inline using this:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_home_game', 20 );
function wpse_home_game() {
wp_register_script( 'home-game', false );
wp_enqueue_script( 'home-game' );
$script = "
let title1 = document.getElementById('home-title1');
// Check if title1 was present before wiring up event listeners.
if ( null !== title1 ) {
title1.addEventListener('mouseover', mouseOver);
title1.addEventListener('mouseout', mouseOut);
}
function mouseOver(){
document.getElementById('title-box').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('home-box1').style.display = 'block';
}
function mouseOut(){
document.getElementById('title-box').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('home-box1').style.display = 'none';
}
";
wp_add_inline_script( 'home-game', $script );
}
