    Hi all,
    I am currently using:

    if( !is_admin()){
	   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
	}

    in my functions.php file to deregister the WordPress core jQuery for my own, newer version. It seems when I do this though, it also takes out the necessary wp_footer scripts that Contact Form 7 uses to run the AJAX functionality. Does anyone have a suggestion on a workaround for this? The contact form is in a text-widget that is on all pages, so I cannot call it differently on a single page or anything. Thanks!

  • When are you registering your version of jQuery? Are you registering it as ‘jquery’? If you change it and/or don’t register it across the board, you are going to mess up other plugins that rely on jQuery.

    This shows how to register google’s most recent jquery, but the concept is the same…. have you properly registered the jquery as @tim says?

    Wow, that was quick ??

    Currently, after I am deregistering jQuery from the theme, I am calling it manually in my header.php file as such:

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script>window.jQuery || document.write("<script src='<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/libs/jquery-1.6.1.min.js'>\x3C/script>")</script>

    So basically, the same way https://rootstheme.com and https://html5boilerplate.com do it. Thanks!

    rather than just calling it in to the head via text/link

    I would register/enqueue it, hopefully my link is helpful for explaining that

    Yes, had to move a few things around, but it looks like that should work. Thanks!

    Excellent! Glad you got it sorted!
