I am using Events Manager Plugin

Javascript is not working on Submit Events Page . I found the reason behind this , that was, I have written a line of code in functions.php to call jquery file.

wp_enqueue_script('jquery-1.7.2',get_template_directory_uri().'/js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js');

When I remove this line of code then javascripts start working fine on Event Submission Page but this file is important for me because I am using this file at many places too so I can not remove this. For Example I have a line of code which generates error.Line is :

var p_option = $('input[@name="p_option"]:checked').val(); .

This line is written in 'wordpress_1/wp-content/themes/my-theme/sidebar.php'

I also asked this question on plugin support but no reply from there.

Thanks in advance!!!

You're enqueuing a specific version of jquery. It's better to enqueue the version that comes with WP, like this: wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); in a function run by the hook wp_enqueue_scripts – Lea Cohen Jan 29 at 13:09

@BhuvneshGupta - WordPress jQuery is in noConflict mode, you must use jQuery as object reference, not $. – Milo Jan 30 at 5:39

When I am using wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ** then it is showing error **$ is not a function means javascript is not working. Let me tell you I am writing this in my custom theme's function.php file so is it right way to add jquery file. – Bhuvnesh Gupta Jan 30 at 5:24
@BhuvneshGupta, As written in the codex, and as Milo said in one of the comments to your question, WP runs jQuery in no-conflict mode, which means that the $ shortcut is not available and the longer jQuery is used. I suggest you read a little about it int the codex, in the link I gave. – Lea Cohen Jan 30 at 6:10
I did it. I tried jquery too but not working. Please read our comments conversation. – Bhuvnesh Gupta Jan 30 at 6:12
