Ps. I know that php code is wrong, I just don’t know how to display code in these forums!
Can anyone help with this? Sorry, it’s probably a really simple solution!
Is your problem that the javascript isn’t loading?
The best way to include the script is with https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script.
You could also just edit the header.php file of your theme to include a script tag.
add this to functions.php
function my_init() {
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
// load the local copy of jQuery in the footer
// wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js’, false, ‘1.3.2’, true);
// or load the Google API copy in the footer
// wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.4.2’, true);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init’);
comment out which one you want to use, then add ur jquery code to the footer.php above wp_footer();
best way to load jquery is in the footer for faster page loading
Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
I’ve added that code to my functions.php file. Which bit of the code do you mean when you suggest to place my jQuery code into the footer? If you mean the whole div element which requires the jQuery that won’t work because it would move the div to a new part of the page?
Thanks in advance. This has been driving me crazy all day!

put your jquery code in the footer.php file, not the div…
for example:
script type=”text/javascript” src=”wherever the jquery plugin file is” /script
script type=”text/javascript”
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
your code
});
/script
ryt above wp_footer();
i have left out < in the script part above coz these forums wont allow code argh! lol
Thanks so much for your help! I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get what you suggested to work. I must have put something in the wrong place!
But after fiddling with the script src’s in the header it suddenly started working. Weird!
Thanks anyway pal!
