    I need to use the lates jQuery for my WP installation. Default version is 1.2.6.

    This is what I try and here are the results:

    Test 1 / adding jQuery through a plugin

    ### Function: add javascripts
add_action('init', 'add_scripts');

function add_scripts() {

    wp_enqueue_script('jQuery');
}

    Test 2 / adding jQuery through a plugin

    ### Function: add javascripts
add_action('init', 'add_scripts');

function add_scripts() {

    wp_enqueue_script('jQuery', WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/wp-my/new/plugin/js/jQuery.js');
}

    Looking at the source code, I see this:
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://localhost/dev2/wp-content/plugins/wp-store-locator/js/jQuery.js?ver=2.7.1′></script&gt;

    Version 2.7.1? Looking at jQuery.js, it says v1.3.6…..

    And what about replacing the old jQuery.js with the new version? IS that good or bad?

    Oh yeah…… that was just in the frontend.
    Looking at the backend (administration), it suddenly has added this line too:
    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://localhost/dev2/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.2.6'></script>

    Now this will certainly crash. How the h*** can I avoid wp-admin adding this last line?

    Shit…. I posted this in the wrong catgory. Should offcours be in the Troubleshooting part.

    I found this thread. Its about using wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’).

    I will test his now ans see what happends. My guess a lot of admin stuff will break ??

    Ah crap. This suxx.

    Using jQuery version 1.3.7 in wp-admin do indeen break the admin functionality.

    So much for craeating plugins ??

    Does anyone know if WP is upgrading jQuery anytime soon?

    Oh… btw.

    I still have a plugin to add the newest jQuery.
    It basically looks like this:

    if ( !is_admin() ) // using a newer version of jQuery will break stuff in WP admin
     {
      wp_deregister_script('jquery');
      wp_enqueue_script('jQuery', WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/wp-store-locator/js/jQuery.js');

     }

    Thank you spstieng — this last snippet was exactly what I needed to force the use of my updated copy of jquery
