Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_actions()

Whenever I try to load my homepage, I get a fatal error telling me that I'm calling an undefined function add_actions() in my functions.php file! I have installed wordpress locally on my computer with DesktopServer like it was described to me in the "How to Install WordPress on Your Computer" course. Could that have anything to do with it?

The full error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_actions() in /Users/Alexander/Documents/Websites/unifac.dev/wp-content/themes/unifac/functions.php on line 3

Screenshot of the error message: Imgur

The code in functions.php:

<?php
    function wpu_theme_styles() {
        wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap_min_css', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/bootstrap.min.css');
        wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap_theme_min_css', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css');
        wp_enqueue_style('google_fonts', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat|Open+Sans|Cormorant+Garamond:700italic');
        wp_enqueue_style('main_css', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css');
    }
    add_actions('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpu_theme_styles');

    function wpu_theme_js() {
        wp_enqueue_script('bootstrap_min_js', get_template_directory_uri().'js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true);
    }

    add_actions('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpu_theme_js');
?>

Thanks in advance for helping!

Never mind! It was supposed to be add_action() instead of add_actions()! I won't forget that again ;-)

Hi Alexander,

I hope you don't mind I switched your comment to a Answer so other users can spot the error more easily :)
