    wp_register_script and wp_register_styles are not recommended nor best practice guide, it should be wp_enqueue_script only e.g.

    function my_custom_script() {
    wp_enqueue_script( ‘custom-scripts’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/custom-scripts.js’, ‘jquery’, ’1.0′, false );
    }
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_custom_script’ );

    and this doesn’t need to be registered at all.
