See it here codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script | |

A theme change makes no difference. To summarise, with all plugins disabled, an attempt to add jquery with function insert_jquery(){ wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } add_filter('wp_head','insert_jquery'); loads jquery in the footer, whereas using the above code instead loads it in the <head> tag as it should do. I don't understand this behaviour.

I don't see what can be forcing jquery to load in the footer when every single one of my plugins are disabled. Can they do that while they are disabled?

I find that including this exact function code in my child theme's functions.php file places jquery successfully in the <head> again and thus re-enables my slideshow. That's great, but I'm still puzzled, as you seemed to imply that its purpose was to prevent some 'rogue' plugin from placing jquery in the footer - but all my plugins are disabled. So what is it overriding?
