# jQuery doesn’t load

 * Hey guys,
    I have troubles with jQuery. For my start page I have some jQuery-
   code. When I preview the size within the Customizr everything looks good. When
   I look at the homepage, the console gives me the error that $ is not a function.
   jQuery couldn’t be loaded. I already tried to update jQuery, but then it looks
   good on the homepage but fails in the Customizr (only showing the spinning wheel).
 * Can somebody give me a hint?
 * Cheers,
    mietzi

 * jQuery, loaded by WordPress, isn’t loaded with the $ variable available. Use 
   a wrapper like,
    jQuery(function($){ // Your code here, executed on page `ready`
   $(‘body’); // Works. });
