The version of jQuery distributed with WP runs in noConflict() mode (meaning that $
is not bound to the jQuery object).
Thus, you should do:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
</script>
or
<script type="text/javascript">
(function ($) {
$( document ).ready(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
})(jQuery) ;
</script>
