wp_deregister_script jquery removes Buddypress js

Hey there,

when I try to deregister the core jquery via

wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );

it removes all buddypress-js files too. Not sure why this is happening. As soon as I uncomment wp_deregister_script on my functions.php I can find the buddypress-js files again via source code.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks for your help in adavance!

Hi there,

I think that the buddypress.js files have jquery listed as a dependency and you are removing jquery so they won’t load.

Are you looking to load a more up to date version of jquery?

Exactly.

This is the whole code I am using:
```
function replace_core_jquery_version() {
  wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
  wp_register_script( 'jquery-new', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.min.js', array(), '3.3.1', true );
  wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-migrate' );
  wp_enqueue_script('jquery-new');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'replace_core_jquery_version' );
```

I think you’ll have to call your version of jQuery “jquery” instead of “jquery-new” otherwise nothing that’s dependent on jquery will load.

Thanks a ton Venutius. That did the trick. Never thought of that. Sometimes the solution can be so simple…

Thanks again!
