Javascript undefined method

    I’m having an issue with jquery plugins. I can verify that the .js files are being included properly, but I’m getting an undefined method error.

    Here is my header:

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('orbit', get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/public/assets/orbit/jquery.orbit.min.js', array('jquery'));
get_header();

    and I call the orbit slider:

    <script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery('#slider').orbit();
});
</script>

    I know the code in the orbit.js file is being executed because I put alerts in it and saw them.

    If I run the minified orbit.js code in the browser console and then call orbit on my slider element, it works.

    I created a slideshow with orbit outside of wordpress and had no issues.

    Thanks for any help!

    You shouldn’t be enqueueing scripts in header.php! This should done via a function in your theme’s functions.php file and then hooked into an appropriate action. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

    Thanks for the quick response.

    The enqueues weren’t in header.php, they were in page.php. I had them in functions.php earlier and had the same problem.

    I just moved them back there and hooked to the init action. I’m having the same problem.

    Try something like:

    function my_script_calls () {
	wp_enqueue_script('orbit', get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/public/assets/orbit/jquery.orbit.min.js', array('jquery'));
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'my_script_calls');

    Also check the path to your script. Is it really in http://example.com/wpcontent/themes/theme_name/public/assets/orbit/ ?

    I tried the code you provided. I’m still having the issue.

    The path is correct. The script is in the list of resources loaded on the page.

    I’m totally stumped.

    I did a fresh install and I’m having the same issue.

    I have multi-user enabled. Could that be involved with this issue?

    I can confirm that this is only an issue for wordpress MU. When I disable MU, the slider works just fine.

    I can’t find any posts about people having issues with queuing scripts in MU, though.
