Im trying to implement some jquery to a wp plugin I am creating.
In the functions.php of my theme I have the following code:
function load_jquery() {
// only use this method is we're not in wp-admin
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// deregister the original version of jQuery
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_deregister_script('jquery-ui-slider');
wp_deregister_style('jquery-ui-style');
// discover the correct protocol to use
$protocol='http:';
if($_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on') {
$protocol='https:';
}
// register the Google CDN version
wp_register_script('jquery', $protocol.'//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.10.2');
wp_register_script('jquery-ui-slider', $protocol.'//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js', false, '1.10.3');
wp_register_style('jquery-ui-style', $protocol.'//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css', false );
// add it back into the queue
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-slider');
wp_enqueue_style('jquery-ui-style');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_jquery');
Then in one of the plugin files I output the following via a function and add_action('wp_head', 'functions_name');
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
$( "#slider-range" ).slider({
range: true,
min: 0,
max: 500,
values: [ 75, 300 ],
slide: function( event, ui ) {
$( "#amount" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
}
});
$( "#amount" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
" - $" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );
});
</script>';
Still nothing works, even though I can see the jquery loaded before the actual script.
Any ideas? It works if I skip the wp_enqueue_script part and past everything inside the header.php of the themefile.
