wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’) stopped working after upgrade to 2.8.2

Could this problem cause these problems:

1. Can’t switch between visual and html tabs. Visual (active) tab is blank apart from some faint red underscores

2. Edit timestamp link does not work

These 2 were enough for me to give up.

I’ve tried:
a. logging out and back in, no difference
b. disabling all the plugins, no difference
c, reinstalling (had to do it manually), no difference

Yes, I upgraded and now jQuery scripts that use $ aren’t working. If I replace the “$” with “jQuery”, then it works.

I guess this has something to do with jQuery running in safe mode here, but these scripts were working before this upgrade on my site.

Why is that?

Is there a way to get that back?

I’m not interested in wrapping every bit of script in a function, or changing everything from $ to jQuery.

Ideas?

I too had a problem with the $ notation.

I found something that seems to fix this

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

This seems to check which library should use $ for compatibility with other
frameworks. But if it doesn’t find any conflicts it reverts to jQuery. You will
then be able to use both jQuery and $ notation in your code.

Hope this works for you too, just make sure you call it before the code that
uses $.

I was wondering why suddenly my wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); and a couple of others were not working after a WP upgrade.

for jQuery i tried using the script tag and it started to work fine..
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js"></script>

no clue how my nested comments thing will start working again.. even the script tag isn’t helping the situation ??
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js"></script>

Has anybody encountered a similar problem?

Instead of renaming $ to jQuery, you can use this wrapper:

(function($){
    // Insert code...

})(jQuery);

Stopped working for me as well. I don’t think it has much to do with noConflict. It’s not loading the file all together.

With the small script I was using, renaming $ to jQuery enabled wp_enqueue_script to work as it should. This would be a real pain for older scripts, however…
