Prevent JQuery From Conflict with Other Libraries

JQuery is getting more and more popular, many people are using JQuery in WordPress. The right way to import JQuery to your WordPress is like this:

< ?php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ? >

Rather than using <script> syntax. Remember to run this script before wp_head(). And then you can load your own JavaScript like this:

< script type=”text/javascript”
src=”< ?php bloginfo("template_url"); ? >/js/testScript.js” >< /script>

Also remember you must put this after wp_head().

I recently learn one more thing from Chris Coyier from DigWP, a simple way to prevent JQuery to conflict with other JavaScript libraries. Which is to set JQuery to “no conflict” mode and use “$j” instead of “$”:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(function(){
    do something.
}
