 * Hello!
 * How can I control which version of jQuery gets loaded into my wordpress header
   through ‘wp_head();’?
 * Currently it’s loading 1.4.4 and I’m running a script that only works with 1.4.2.
 * Thanks!

 * How to include jQuery and enqueue scripts in WordPress: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script)
 * Probably easier – and a better practice – is to fix the script than change WP’s
   jQuery loading.
 * Use [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/) with Firefox, or in Chrome or Safar or 
   IE8, use the developer tools to see what’s loading on your site and catch the
   JS errors.

 * Well, WP loads the version it ships with. The version it is tested with.
 * You can unenqueue the proper version and enqueue your own I’m sure.

 * I believe the path to your desired version of jquery would be
    [https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js](https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js)
