Jqeury Conflict WordPress

Navjot Singh answers:

Use something like this:


function abcd_script_init() {
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.6.1');
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
wp_enqueue_script( '<slider file name without js>', '<path to your slider js file>', array( 'jquery'), '<silder version no>' );
}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'abcd_script_init' );

You can use wp_enqueue_script to load any number of javascript files now which depend on jquery or even otherwise. Read more about wp_enqueue_script at [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script"]]Codex[[/LINK]].

Was looking for a solution rather than advice. Also a further explanation of the code would be ideal.

Navjot Singh comments:

Without looking into which slider you are using or the actual site, exact solution can't be given. Your site just points us to a coming soon page which is not hosted on Wordpress.

Regarding the code, it first deregisters the jquery loaded by wordpress [http://bathroomcladdingdirect.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js] and loads the jquery from Google code. Its faster this way. Next it loads the slider javascript and tells wordpress that it is dependent on jquery. The code executes only on the frontend for which is_admin conditional is loaded. And the whole query is loaded after Wordpress loads the theme. This whole code goes into your theme's function.php.

Romel Apuya answers:

why not use jQuery.noConflict?

so you can use jQuery library without problems.

so your code would be


<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(function(){

//your jquery slider call here
// just replace $ with $j in your jQUery slider call

});

</script>

Clifford P answers:

Navjot and Romel are correct that you need to load jQuery in no conflict mode, which WordPress does for you, if you add the javascript/jQuery correctly. Based on how you worded your question, I'm guessing this slider isn't a WordPress plugin. If you PM me your FTP login information and the URL of the page it is viewable on (also include WP login location and account info if URL of page is only available to logged in users), I could do it for you.
