 * Do you know why my javacript doesn’t trigger when i add it to the header of my
   page? It appear normaly in the source code and work in a local environment (or
   in a html environement), by in my server with WordPress it’s block by something.
   Thanks for your help.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){$('#click').click(function(){window.location.href = 'https://MyURL.com';});setTimeout(function(){$('#click').trigger('click');}, 2000);});</script>

 * Hi [@revixi5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/revixi5/),
 * We just tested your script on a demo WordPress site, and it worked as expected(
   redirecting after 2 seconds or when clicking an element with `id="click"`). This
   suggests the code itself is valid, but WordPress-specific factors might be interfering
   on your end. Common WordPress-specific issues include:
    1. **jQuery Conflict**: WordPress uses `jQuery` instead of `$`. Update your code
       to:
       `javascript jQuery(document).ready(function($) { // Your code here });`
    2. **Missing Element**: Ensure a `#click` element exists (e.g., `<button id="click"
       >Redirect</button>`).
    3. **Plugin/Theme Conflicts**: Deactivate plugins temporarily or switch themes 
       to test for conflicts.
    4. **Caching/Script Order**: Clear caches and ensure jQuery loads before your script.
 * We recommend sharing these points with your developer for targeted troubleshooting.
   If issues persist, provide a page link and browser console errors.
