Title: JQuery UI Not Loading Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # JQuery UI Not Loading * [DavidGMII](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgmii/) * (@davidgmii) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-ui-not-loading/) * I have installed a wordpress theme at this location: naturalhealthdirectory.co. uk/natural_health_directory * I’m trying to install a premium plugin from themeforest that books room reservations. This is determined by a shortcode at this location: [http://naturalhealthdirectory.co.uk/natural_health_directory/reserve-a-room/](http://naturalhealthdirectory.co.uk/natural_health_directory/reserve-a-room/) * The calendar that is supposed to appear on this page does not display. I contact the plugin owner and he referred me to the wordpress codex stating that the jquery on the site wasn’t loading. How should I go about resolving this, thanks!

Use the wp_enqueue_script function, the “WordPress” way of loading javascript. I’m assuming you actually need datepicker and jquery UI too. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) * ``` wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-core' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' ); ``` * Technically you could just load datepicker and it would load its needed dependencies, but for completeness’s sake I included the first two. * Thread Starter [DavidGMII](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgmii/) * (@davidgmii) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-ui-not-loading/#post-4737947) * Thanks for the reply! I added that to my functions.php file, but there was no different result.

Like * ``` // instead of just "jquery" wp_enqueue_script( "bootstrap", get_template_directory_uri().
