Is there any possibility of disabling this jQuery library duplication?

function add_my_script() {
wp_enqueue_script(
'myscript',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/myscript.js',
array('jquery')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_my_script' );

Is the way to include a jQuery library the same as I did when I included my own script, but just changing /js/myscript.js to the cdn-address? Or is there a better way?

I have read the relevant codex-page page, but it didn’t really help my understanding of the problem.

Thanks!

I have googled the problem and all I get is lots of other sites displaying the same problem. I can see similar problems discussed elsewhere, but these do not resolve my problem.

The problems is that My Avada Theme layer sliders do not display properly since I updated to version 3.9.1. I have hidden most of the sliders, but you can see the problem here….

https://www.synergy-environmental.co.uk/contaminated-land-consultancy/

I get the following message “It looks like you are using an old version (1.11.0) of the jQuery library. LayerSlider requires at least version 1.7.0 or newer. If you are using the WordPress version of LayerSlider, you can try out the “jQuery Updater” plugin from the WP plugin depository. If you don’t know what to do, you can write us a private message from our CodeCanyon profile page. We need a temporary WP admin account (or a temporary FTP account in some cases) to solve this issue.”

I have jQuery updater version 2.1.1 installed but it doesnt seem to make any difference. I have noticed that the page options section used to allow me to select the avada theme for my layer slider type, but this option has disappeared.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am talking purely from a load size point of view. I also like the fact that Jquery creates less code so that it is easier to read.

All right, the only problem concerns the reference in the header of Jquery library:

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js?ver=1.7.1'> </ script>

How can I change the reference to include the library locally?
I did not even need to use the administration, then I could use to disable that too.

Thank you.

Could you remove the jQuery library form your widget (like everybody else )? I like to use it but can not as it interferes with other widgets, like Easy FencyBox.

Can you please post if you are removing the jQuery library as I do like you widget and would like to use it.

Take care.

I’m trying desperately to use jQuery. I’ve read and tried tons of jQuery coding but can’t get it to work.
I’m trying to test whether or not my jQuery library is working – right now it isn’t. I’ve created a new page in my theme I’ve entered a very simple test that shows a paragraph and when that paragraph is clicked on, an “alert” box shouldl open and display “Works.” So here’s the code:

I’m using an “onclick” function that will show an “alert” box when one clicks on the paragraph. So, first I add the paragraph and include the ‘onclick’ event:
<p onclick=“alert (‘Works’);”>This is a paragraph</p>

Last, I add the jQuery code (within the new page):
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://giftsrus.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js”></script>

What is supposed to happen is a paragraph will be displayed (no problem there) and when clicked on the alert box displays “Works.” However, nothing happens when I click on the paragraph. I have several jQuery scripts to add but can’t even get the most simplest of code to work. I think the issue might be in my ‘src’ code for jQuery within my sight but I’m not sure. I’m not exactly sure where the jQuery library is and how to reference it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx.

My understanding is that WordPress “includes” or comes with several javascript libraries.

When I create my own themes, do I need to do something to “enable” them? Or are they automatically included?

In the book “Beginning WordPress 3.0” the author provides some code to “add the built-in JQuery and UI core libraries to your theme” but she doesn’t say where to put it. In the header.php? In the functions.php? (I’m guessing the header.php.)
I checked the twentyten header and functions and don’t find any similar code in those.

Her code is:
<?php function add_jquery() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script(jquery-ui-core');
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_jquery');
?>

I haven’t done anything to add libraries to sites I’ve built with my own themes so far and plugins work, etc.

What’s the deal with this?

Thanks!!
