I have followed the steps from this knowledge article: [Create and add a JavaScript file to HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/design-manager/add-a-javascript-file-to-hubspot)  
- I created a Javascript file

- I copied the file’s public URL and added it to the specific web page’s Footer under the Advanced Settings \> Footer HTML, and formatted it as follows:  
\<!-- start Main.js Do Not Remove --\>  
\<script src=‘PATH URL PASTED HERE’\>\</script\>  
\<!---End Main.js--\>.  
I even tried pasting this under Settings \> Content \> Pages \> Site footer HTML for the domain I wanted but no luck. When I load the test page and view page source (using google chrome) I don’t see the javascript anywhere.  
Any ideas on what I’m missing?

Hi @Anasser6,  
You shouldn’t need the script tags if the javascript file you created lives in your theme folder  
it should look something like this {{ require\_js(get\_asset\_url(“../../js/NAME\_OF\_FILE.js”)) }}  
If you uploaded it to the file manager that you should be able to use script src=“URL”

Hi @jonchim,

Thank you for your response. I’m not familiar with theme folders - when creating the javascript file I saved it in the root folder (see screenshot).  
Also, how would I reference the file path for the script you included? Would it be like this?  
{{ require\_js(get\_asset\_url(“FOLDER\_NAME/js/NAME\_OF\_FILE.js”)) }}

Thank you!

Hi @Anasser6,

If you’re using the default theme/base theme, in your theme folder, there should be a js folder which you can move the file in there.  
If it’s in the root folder try this code  
{{ require\_js(get\_asset\_url(“../../NAME\_OF\_FILE.js”)) }}

Hi @jonchim,

I tried the code you mentioned but no luck. I also don’t see an option to move my file into any folder from my file settings - see screenshots. The only folder I see is the @hubspot folder - is this the default one you’re referring to? From within that folder the only subfolder that had a js folder was the cmsdefaultsystempages.

hey @Anasser6, okay looks like you haven’t created/using a custom theme. I think best solution for you would be to navigate to file manager [https://app.hubspot.com/files/](https://app.hubspot.com/files/%7B%7B)YOUR PORTAL ID  
Drop the file in there, once you have that you can click on Copy URL  
and then in your page settings just use \<script src=“URL”\>\</script\>
