   Hi,

   I'm trying to manually load a jquery script in my theme, but I'm surely doing something wrong as is not working.
   First off I'm loading jquery in the header.php like this:
   <?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

   Then I'm loading the script:
   

   <script type="text/javascript"
      src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/wp-content/themes/sandbox/js/fadeLinks.js"></script>

   And lastly I'm adding the css code directly to the style.css:
   

   a{
   	color:#f30;
   	font-weight:bold;
   	text-decoration:none;
   	}
   a span.two{
   	color:#069;
   	cursor:pointer;
   	}

   I guess I'm doing possibly everything in the wrong way.

   <script type="text/javascript"
      src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/js/fadeLinks.js"></script>

   please note your "template_url" have double quote and i use single quote.

   also bloginfo("template_url") will return http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/parent-theme

   Thanks Pankaj,

   I've changed the above code like this:
   <?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>

   and this:
   

   <script type="text/javascript"
      src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/sandbox/js/fadeLinks.js"></script>

   Since the bloginfo wpurl is = http://example/home/wp
   I assume that now the url should be interpreted like:
   http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/sandbox/js/fadeLinks.js

   but still it doesn't work.

   Right on the header.php, once loaded looks like this:
   

   <script type="text/javascript"
      src="http://blog.phoenixart.com/wp-content/themes/sandbox/js/fadeLinks.js"></script>

    Remove line 10 <?php wp_head() // For plugins ?> and see if work?

    If this work then some of your plugin is replacing the code of head.

    try to add this script in footer and see if this work.

    Thanks

    I wouldn't recommend to delete <?php wp_head() ?>. Some plugins use it to get code into your header, so some things might not work. You should move it right before the </head> tag though! It's also important to have the <?php wp_footer(); ?> right before the </body> tag.

    Maybe it helps to just move the we_head, because it caused myself some trouble when I had it in the wrong position and not right before the head closing tag.

    Hope it helps!

    I suggest to delete line and test if that work means that line is modified with some plugin. Bring that code back and load your script on footer.php it will solve problem easily.

    Thanks again Pankaj, thank you Webfaden for your tip,

    it seems there's no way to have the script working. At this point I give it up. Probably there could be some issue with the theme itself, not sure exactly what's going on. Jquery doesn't seem to be the issue as the plugins I load from WP control panel work fine.

    Pankaj, I've tried both removing that line and moving the script on the footer, nothing seems to work. I think I'll live without the fade script :)
