wp_enqueue_script wont load jquery

Where are you putting your call to wp_enqueue_script? Try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

<?php
function my_jquery_init() {
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}    

add_action('init', 'my_jquery_init');
?>

I tried that too — no luck.

I can place the call before or after the wp_head call.. it doesnt make a difference. No JQUERY is ever loaded.

I load jQuery into a theme (as well as other stuff that I’ve edited out) with the following with no problem:

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

Its worked through several WP versions so far.

@apljdi, what happen when you enter the dashboard ? is it still working ? Dashboard panel has its own jquery, is it ?

In practice, I filter it out of the admin section with an is_admin conditional. I think there is probably a less hackie way to do it but I haven’t come back around to that project yet. I don’t that that wp_enqueue_script with load the same file twice though.
