When I try to use the Flexslider with 'built-in' jquery, the Flexslider won't work. When I use my own myjquery file, It works as if nothing ever.
Do I always have to use my own jquery file even wordpress has its own?
- Wordpress' (built in) jQuery vserion: 1.11.3
- Flexbox required jQuery version: 1.7+
- myjquery = jquery version: 1.12.0
Summary: flexbox should work with jQuery of WordPress.
More Details
Flexslider doesn't work when I use Wordpress' jQuery.
It works when I add my own myjquery.js which is jquery 1.12.0 and when I dequeue original jquery wp_dequeue_script('jquery');.
It looks like WordPress' jQuery is not visible for my Flexslider and custom.js file.
Errors:
When I run the site with WordPress with its own jQuery there is one error:
$ is not a function file: 'custom.js:2:1' what means that jquery is not found but it's included in header (I've checked). My conclusion is the dependency array('jquery') doesn't work. I've tried to use wp_register_script('flexbox', ...) with different function (even without dependencies and false, false or true, true, etc..)
When I use 'myjquery' there is no errors and plugin works correctly.
The content of 'custom.js':
$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide"
});
});
Register and include styles & scripts (part of the functions.php file):
wp_register_script( 'bootstrap-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js' );
wp_register_script( 'myjquery', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.js' );
wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/flexslider.js', array('jquery'), false, true );
wp_register_script( 'custom-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom.js', array('flexslider'), false, true );
// Enqueue :: styles & scripts
function mytheme_enqueue_items() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'my-main-css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-responsive' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'flexslider-css' );
// wp_enqueue_script( '**myjquery**' ); // **flexslider works correctly when uncommented**
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap-js' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-js' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_enqueue_items' );
