Title: Internal JavaScript Not Working in WP Post Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Internal JavaScript Not Working in WP Post * [eweisbrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eweisbrot/) * (@eweisbrot) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/) * Hello, * I have a script that automatically opens a modal popup 5 seconds after the page loads working on other non WP pages of my website. * However, when I insert the script into a WP post, it doesn’t work. Please help! See the WP post here: [http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/blog/getting-your-new-business-bonded-print-bond-modal](http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/blog/getting-your-new-business-bonded-print-bond-modal) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [eweisbrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eweisbrot/) * (@eweisbrot) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776738) * Just some additional info…my Chrome console detects an error of “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined” on line 70. I tried adding the jQuery library to the header. php file, but that didn’t fix the issue. * Any help is greatly appreciated! * Thread Starter [eweisbrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eweisbrot/) * (@eweisbrot) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776886) * I completely stumped…does anyone have some insight? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776888) * See: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript) * BTW, you should get WP up to date – old versions are a security risk! * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776889) * This might be useful: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/css-javascript-toolbox/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/css-javascript-toolbox/) * Thread Starter [eweisbrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eweisbrot/) * (@eweisbrot) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776890) * Hey WPyogi, * Thanks for the response. I tried implementing the wp_enqueue_script() within the functions.php file, but this did not fix the error. * I also tried installing the plugin you suggested, but this also didn’t fix the issue. * Any other ideas as to why the “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined” on line 70 is occurring? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776892) * You could check for JS errors? * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors) * Thread Starter [eweisbrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eweisbrot/) * (@eweisbrot) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776893) * The exact error that I believe is causing the modal to not work is “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined” on line 70. * The issue is occurring in IE10, Firefox 33.0, and Chrome. * I added the SCRIPT_DEBUG to the wp-config.php file, but it did not fix the error either. * I’m really stumped. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-javascript-not-working-in-wp-post/#post-5776917) * Did you remove that code? Or did you link to the wrong page?

Would you mind helping me troubleshoot the problem if I add the code back to the post? * Let me know!
