perfect, thanks!

Hey, just stumpled upon your code when I wanted to show this technique to a coworker.

Please mind that get_stylesheet_directory_uri() refers to the childtheme in case you use a childtheme, and is only equivalent if you only have the parent theme.
If you want to make sure it points the parent theme, you need to use get_template_directory_uri() instead.

hi, sorry cant figure out, where to put it?

@sanderlt You can put calls to wp_enqueue_style() and wp_enqueue_script() inside of a function that is hooked to WordPress' wp_enqueue_scripts hook. These examples show how to do that: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/#user-contributed-notes
