 * This would be much easier to troubleshoot with a link to the test site.
 * You should also look at this: [http://digwp.com/2009/06/including-jquery-in-wordpress-the-right-way/](http://digwp.com/2009/06/including-jquery-in-wordpress-the-right-way/)
   for information on using jQuery in WordPress using a noConflict wrapper to avoid
   trouble, and not using the ‘$’ shortcut.

 * Thanks (Jackson)
 * Think I’ve tried that method think I’ll try and find a plugin but so far found
   nothing similar to the codecanyon scroller above that’s avaailable.

 * I don’t know exactly what is affecting your script.
    Try `wp_register_script('
   jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js' );`
   it will load script to the header (now it’s loading to the footer)
 * add `array('jquery')` to all `wp_enqueue_script` functions that loading jQuery
   scripts, e.g.
    `wp_enqueue_script('lightbox', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/
   js/wt-lightbox.min.js', array('jquery'));`
 * The last one – may be it doesn’t work because of jQuery version – try to change
   version to 1.4.2 to check it.

 * Hi vjpo thanks for the advice, can i ask when you say “(now it’s loading to the
   footer)” do you literaly mean this is happening or is this an instruction to 
   load from the footer, …Thanks

 * the code from your functions.php pastebin example
    `wp_register_script('jquery','
   http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.6.1',
   true);` `true` at the end of string places js script to the footer `$in_footer
   = true`
 * `<?php wp_register_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer ); ?>`

   related to this scroller, I think I’ll try to find a plugin that is similar just
   havn’t found one that works yet

 * try to load your slider.js (second pastebin example) by this way.
    Add this code
   to your functions.php
 *     ```
       // Load Dom Ready Javascripts
       function load_scroller_js() { ?>
       <script type="text/javascript">
           jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
           //initialize scroller
           // full scroller script here
       </script>
       <?php }
       add_action('wp_head', 'load_scroller_js');
       ```
   
 * and exclude same script from the enqueue list

 * maybe I need to include something like this that targets the child theme
 * add_action(‘get_header’, ‘metric_load_scripts’);
    function metric_load_scripts(){
   wp_enqueue_script(‘follow’, CHILD_URL.’/lib/js/follow.js’, array(‘jquery’),’1′,
   TRUE); }
