From this OP comment: although the site itself deregisters the main wordpress jquery handle and the re-registers it to point to the google cdn verrsion That is your problem. The problem isn’t an issue with WordPress 3.5 per se, nor is it a problem with Plugins. The problem is that you’re deregistering the core jQuery … Read more
Whenever building a theme, you should always add wp_footer(); in the footer.php right before the closing body tag to ensure all JS files that are loaded at the footer can be loaded.
get_template_directory looks in the parent theme for files. In the case a child theme is being used, the absolute path to the parent theme directory will be returned. Use get_stylesheet_directory() to get the absolute path to the child theme directory. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_directory This file is not meant to be replaced. You will need to find another … Read more
Are you sure it is not loading? I tried this(using WordPress 3.6-beta1): function add_scripts(){ wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery-ui-autocomplete’ ); } add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘add_scripts’); I got jQuery and jQuery migrate in the header: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.9.1″></script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.js?ver=1.1.1″></script> And jQuery UI in the footer: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js?ver=1.10.2″></script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.widget.min.js?ver=1.10.2″></script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.position.min.js?ver=1.10.2″></script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.menu.min.js?ver=1.10.2″></script> <script type=”text/javascript” … Read more
If that code is written into the theme just like that– that is, it isn’t hooked into wp_enqueue_scripts like is should be– then you can’t “undo” this without hacking the theme. I should add that if the theme has this code in functions.php just like that and not hooked then the theme is doing it … Read more
The action is plural: wp_print_scripts, however, the action you want to enqueue scripts on is wp_enqueue_scripts.
You can’t (well, you can, but you’ll likely experience dependency issues such as this one) deregister a script at wp_enqueue_scripts that was registered earlier, and already used as a dependency. The best solution is to get rid of the custom jquery code, and just rely on core-bundled jQuery. (You’re going to break a LOT of … Read more
The right hook The wp_default_scripts-hook only runs in the admin as it’s called by wp_default_scripts() on ~/wp-admin/load-scripts.php where it’s hooked at the end of the file. So to move jQuery in public to the footer, you have to use a different hook: wp_enqueue_scripts, which only runs in the public. No admin check needed. <?php defined( … Read more
<script>YOUR CUSTOM JS CODE</script> inline does the same exact thing as YOUR CUSTOM JS CODE placed in a js file. I see no problem with the use of your app key in a js file. There is a few points to consider here though If your script is dependent on the main jquery library, just … Read more
Your code should look like this function my_scripts_styles() { wp_register_script(‘easing’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/easing.js’, ‘2014-12-030’, true ); wp_enqueue_script(‘easing’); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_scripts_styles’ ); The above code should work fine. Also don’t forget to check if you have properly specified the path to your js file. Check well that you have a functions.php and not function.php file. … Read more
