Plugin stops working when we remove theme default jquery

    the social bar doesn’t float and doesn’t hide when we deregister the local copy of jquery from our theme…the code i am referring to is this…

    if (!is_admin()) {
    function site_init()
    {
        // remove jQuery
        wp_deregister_script('jquery');
    }

    add_action('init', 'site_init');
}

    p.s. i am using this code to remove the version of jquery which is present in my theme by default…i have manually added the google library version of jquery script.

    why is it happening? i am already using google’s jquery right?

    my url is revthatup.com…the plugin is deactivated for now. i do most of my testing on localhost syed…do you want me to activate the plugin on my live site so that you can take a look at it?

    Gautam, hard to tell what is going on.

    It should work with Google jQuery unless it is not being loaded properly. Make sure that the Google jQuery is loading before our script. Also run the inspect element to see if any error is showing up in the console.

    well i figured out what the problem was…thanks to you i did some researching and what i found out was interesting…

    whenever i used a script tag to load jquery such as this:

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

    the floating bar stopped working, but when i used wp_enqueue method, such as this:

    function modify_jquery() {
	if (!is_admin()) {
		wp_deregister_script('jquery');
		wp_register_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.9.0');
		wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
	}
}
add_action('init', 'modify_jquery');

    the floating bar started working…i don’t know what the problem was…i had heard somewhere that using the script tag is not the most effective way of loading jquery. maybe you shed some light on this.

    anyway i will mark this issue as resolved!

    Yes enqueue is the proper way of loading scripts to ensure plugin compatibility.
