Title: how to update jQuery javascript library? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # how to update jQuery javascript library? * Resolved [mverduyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mverduyn/) * (@mverduyn) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/) * Hello, I get the errror message below. From what I read, I think that I need to update the jQuery javascript library. Let me please ask you how to do that? Thanks and kind regards, Marcel * ” ATTENTION! (by Comprehensive Google Map Plugin) * Your blog/site theme or one of your plugins uses jQuery javascript library which is older than the version 1.3.0. The Comprehensive Google Map plugin will not work with such outdated jQuery version. * The minimum jQuery requirement for Comprehensive Google Map plugin is version 1.3.0. Apologies for the inconvenience. ” Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/page/2/?output_format=md) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020188) * Did you read this part? * > Your blog/site theme or one of your plugins uses jQuery > javascript library > which is older than the version 1.3.0. * [Sobermedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sobermedia/) * (@sobermedia) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020190) * Hi, * Couple of ways you can do this. The easiest it to open your theme functions.php and add the below lines: * ``` if( !is_admin()){ wp_deregister_script('jquery'); wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"), false, '1.9.1'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ``` * This will call in the latest version of jQuery. PLEASE BACKUP your theme folder before you modify ANY FILE. * Hope helps. * Scott. * [Sobermedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sobermedia/) * (@sobermedia) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020191) * Esmi is correct if you do update to a later version of jQuery some plugins or even your theme may be effected and not support later version of jQuery so you are going to have to do some testing and make sure all plugins work correctly with a later version of jQuery. * S. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020193) * Actually, you first need to determine which is the culprit: the theme or one of the other plugins. * And never, EVER, deregister core jQuery! * [Borko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media-x/) * (@media-x) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020195) * Lately i saw a plugin mentioned on several places (be theme authors). It’s called [jQuery Updater](http://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-updater/). Didn’t test it though. I will also repeat: **BACKUP** before doin’ anything! * Thread Starter [mverduyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mverduyn/) * (@mverduyn) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-jquery-javascript-library/#post-4020201) * [@scott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scott/) & esmi, thanks. I am not( yet) experienced with WordPress. When logged in, where is the button to open my theme functions.php ?

Once you deactivate the plugin, the version reverts back. There must be a better way to update the jquery library… is there?
