'/js/jquery.tweet.js', array('jquery')); wp_enqueue_script( 'flexislider',get_template_directory_uri() .

He doesn’t re-register it. He just tries to re-enqueue it. * Thread Starter [iAyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iayo/) * (@iayo) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063597) * Hi, Max removed both lines but still no joy. However, `wp_script_is( $handle, $list = 'queue')` returns true when tested on all the script handles except when the handle is ‘jquery’ where it returns false meaning jQuery library doesn’t get enqueued. * Also this function returns false on all $handle when $list = ‘to_do’. * please help… * Thread Starter [iAyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iayo/) * (@iayo) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063598) * I wanted to note that when i put `wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );` at the top of my functions.php file outside the `function goldrush_js_enqueue(){}` `wp_script_is(' jquery', $list = 'queue' )` returns true cant understand why…. * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063599) * That strikes me as somewhat odd behavior. Is there a plugin, or perhaps some other component of your theme, that might be messing with jQuery registration? Can you post an URL? * Thread Starter [iAyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iayo/) * (@iayo) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063600) * its still on my production machine its not live yet but i will install afresh copy of wordpress and try it out * Thread Starter [iAyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iayo/) * (@iayo) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063602) * i just put the theme on a fresh install of wordpress and still cant get the scripts to run. Here is the URL: * `http://www.goldrushbeauty.com/` * [Max](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clementsm/) * (@clementsm) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063603) * jQuery is still not being loaded… can you past your `functions.php` to [pastebin](http://pastebin.com/) so we can look at it… * Also your `header.php` as I notice there is some inline script that is being output before the scripts that are being enqueued by WordPress. * Thread Starter [iAyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iayo/) * (@iayo) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-issues/#post-3063604) *
