Bootstrap doesn't load.

This worked grand until I moved the site to a staging server. Now Bootstrap doesn't load. I this because I've put it in a subdomain? Is this my problem? 

wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true);

This might just be the case. Have a look at the URLS your links are pointing to if you can. If they still look like they're pointing to localhost they'll need updating.

You can do this updating the domain by using

<?php

define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

?>

Where example.com is your domain plus any sub domains.

Have a look at the Local WordPress Development course on treehouse for tips on migrating websites from local to live servers. :-)

Thank you Jonathan.

All the urls have been updated.

One of the console errors is

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/assets/js/ie10-viewport-bug-workaround.js

I don't have an 'assets' folder. 'assets' should be the name of the folder 'staged'. So the correct path for this file would be: http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/staged/wp-content/themes/mytheme/js/ie10-viewport-bug-workaround.js

Where does 'assets' come from?

Assets sounds like a project folder that was used to store the original JS and a reference to which was carried over to the site but no longer exists as a folder in your theme,

Try to look for any reference to assets in your relative URLs, remove those and they should work. :-)
