how can I make $ work in wordpress for jQuery?

Question

I have a plugin I want to use, but it depends on the $ identifier, as apposed to using jQuery.

Is it possible to enable the $, to save me recoding the plugin?

EDIT

The plugin automatically adds the javascript, therefore I can't wrap it.

Answer 1

Try this:

jQuery(function ($) {
    /* You can safely use $ in this code block to reference jQuery 
           Call your plugin here
       */
})

I think you already know this. But still for reference http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/

Answer 2

This should work, I believe:

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();

Answer 3

The code Sisir provided would work, or you can use this code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    // you can use $ here
});
