    Hi there! I’m usign this code…

    add_action( 'wp_head', function () { ?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	// xxxxxx
});
</script>
<?php } );

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_script', function () {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
} );

    but I get this console error:

    Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

    How can I solve it? I just want to use a very simple jQuery function.

    Thank you! ??

    If you want to wait to exclude your script after the page is ready, you can always just print it in the footer:

    add_action( 'wp_footer', function () { ?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	// xxxxxx
});
</script>
<?php }, 15 );

    Same error ??

    Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

    Any idea why this can be happening?

    The website uses Elementor as Page Builder and all plugins, theme and WP are up to date.

    Here is a screenshot of the snippet applied:

    You still need to include the code to enqueue jQuery:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
} );

    In fact, it looks like this might have been the problem with your original snippet: the hook is called wp_enqueue_scripts, not wp_enqueue_script.
