 * Wait longer. Double posting like that doesn’t help.
 * Since WordPress version 2.x, jQuery is a build-in Javascript library, explicitly
   include the jQuery library into WordPress is not necessary. What are you trying
   to do that it’s not working?

 * Hi, the wp_enqueue_script function is not working for me. If i call the function`
   <?php wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); ?>` in head section. Jquery in not including
   as i said. It is not only for jquery other scripts are not including also.
 * I have done more research.
 *  1. When i installed some plugin that requires jquery it is loading jquery via
   wp_head().
 *  2. My written jquery scripts are not working even though jquery is loaded by
   the plugin unless i include the jquery path manually. like this: `<script type
   ="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery-1.4.4.
   min.js"></script>`
 *  3. Is there some kinds of conflict going on? I used jQuery instead of $ in my
   code. So conflict should not happen right?

 * Hi, I’m no expert at this, but I have learnt the HARD way that you need to load
   wp_enqueu_script via an init (it is mentioned in the codex but there is no example
   given.)
    There’s a decent demo here – [http://www.wdmac.com/wp-enqueue-script](http://www.wdmac.com/wp-enqueue-script)
   or a more extensive tutorial via [Lester Chan](http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/2009/01/26/loading-javascript-in-footer-in-wordpress-28/).
