 * Hello, I’m having a bit of an issue, I made a calendar in php, the way I have
   it to work is that I made 3 javascript functions and the php page automatically
   puts the right calls for said functions on the right place and the calendar works.
 * However when I try and do this in wordpress it just seems more complicated then
   it should be, like javascript needs to be registered in particular ways and so
   on, I’m really lost this is the function I have for the calendar going forward
   1 month
 *     ```
       function forward() {
       $.get("date.php", { month: count } , function(data){
       $("div#Calendar_wrap").html(data);
       });
       count = count + 1;
       back = count - 2;
       }
       ```
   
 * what it pretty much does is sends out a call on the php file with a month value
   and the php file’s output gets placed in the Calendar_wrap div, how would it 
   be possible to do that in wordpress?
    I’ve seen loads of tutorials online but
   most of them are about different things it’s kinda wierd
 * Thanks.

 * If it’s a jquery script, then jquery is ‘pre-registered’ and packaged with the
   WP core. You should simply be able to enqueue it…
 * `wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );`
 * then enqueue your script adding jquery as a dependency…
 * `wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', '/path/to/script', array( 'jquery' ) );`
 * Check first to see if jquery is loading by default in your theme. If so then 
   just add the second line to your functions.php in a function and fire on init…
 *     ```
       function my_init() {
          if( !is_admin() ):
             wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', '/path/to/script', array( 'jquery' ) );
          endif;
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'my_init' );
       ```
