 * Hi
    I could successfully load a script in a theme, that i built from scratch.
   Here is the procedure in functions.php:
 *     ```
       //scripts for animation//
       function anim_scripts() {
   
           if( is_page(array('28','45'))) { //
       			wp_enqueue_script( // Load up my script
                   'bganim',
                   get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/bganim.js',
                   array('jquery')
               ); // End of enqueue
   
           } // End is
       } //
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'anim_scripts');
       ```
   
 * When i do the same thing in a child of 2013, i get an error in the console: something
   like «$ is not a function».
 * Why is that?
    Does anyone have an idea, why this error comes up with the child
   of 2013 and not with my own theme?
 * Thanks for your time and interest.
 * regards
    theo

 * Hi
    I found an article on this issue. Here is the link: [http://www.pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2011/jquery-is-not-a-function/](http://www.pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2011/jquery-is-not-a-function/)
 * I simply replaced «$» with «jQuery».
 * Good luck to you all.
