 * Howdy!
 * I’m relatively new to JQuery and javascript, particularly when used in conjunction
   with WordPress. I have a JQuery plugin (turn.js [http://www.turnjs.com/](http://www.turnjs.com/))
   and have been trying to get it up and running on this site: bondinchair.com, 
   with no luck.
 * I’ve reviewed the Codex and various how-to’s and tutorials. The plugin works 
   fine on a standalone html page, but not with WordPress. As far as I can tell,
   I’ve registered and enqueue’d the javascript properly, but I am still having 
   no luck. I fear I am missing something simple.
 * Here’s the section of code in question, I think:
 *     ```
       function my_init() {
       	if (!is_admin()) {
       		wp_deregister_script('jquery');
       		wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.3.2', true);
       		wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   
       		wp_enqueue_script('my_script', get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/js/basic.js', array('jquery'), '1.0', true);
       	}
       }
   
       add_action('init', 'my_init');
   
       function turn_jquery()
       {
          wp_enqueue_script( 'turn' );
           wp_register_script( 'turn', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/basic.js');  wp_register_style('turncss',get_template_directory_uri().'/css/basic.css');
       	wp_enqueue_style('turncss'); 
   
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'turn_jquery' );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Many thanks in advance for any help.

 * Never, EVER, de-register core jQuery!

 * Ok.

 * Is that my problem?

 * Incidentally, I found the script that deregistered core JQuery on this forum.
   I think this is part of the problem. Lots of bad info and half-formed answers.
   As I said, I’m new, but willing to do my homework.

 * If it isn’t now, it will be. De-registering core jQuery can cause all kinds of
   problems in a site – both on the back and front end. What’s wrong with using 
   the version of jQuery bundled with core?
