    I have been trying to get jQuery to load for the past two days to no avail. (I am developing a theme from scratch) I put <?php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ?> in my header.php to call it but it doesn’t seem to be loading. I’ve changed to the twentyten theme and my plugins that use js work just fine. I don’t know what im doing wrong? Could someone explain the proper way to load jQuery. Thanks!

    For those of you searching all over the net to figure out why jQuery wont load despite putting <?php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ?> before <?php wp_header() ?> in your header… here is what I figured out is also required to make your javascripts run; which is left out of all the forums I have read… you must put <?php wp_footer() ?> in your footer right before the </body>.

    in header.php:
    <?php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ?>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>

    in footer.php:
    <?php wp_footer() ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    I really hope this helps!
