# jQuery conflict in WordPress

 * I have a WordPress blog at [http://www.vgreboot.com/](http://www.vgreboot.com/)
   in which I followed the exact instructions for jPlayer’s Quick Start guide to
   install a jPlayer in my site’s header.php. All the code jPlayer needs is in the
   header.php:
 * [http://pastebin.com/2nCYpGDv](http://pastebin.com/2nCYpGDv)
 * When you include the line
 *  “<script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js”></script>&#8221](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js”></script>&#8221);
 * the mp3 player works but all the jQuery things below the mp3 player break. When
   you DON’T include that line, everything works, but the mp3 player looks wrong,
   like in the bottom of Step 6 of the Quick Start guide. Now, I know WordPress 
   has its own copy of jQuery, but while trying to fix the problem, I installed 
   and activated a plugin that makes WordPress use Google’s jQuery. I can remove
   that temporarily. There appears to be multiple instances of jQuery, or so I have
   heard. Problem is, I’m no coder (outside of copy-paste and CSS) and I don’t know
   how to fix this.
 * I don’t want to change any files in “vgr-content/themes/thematic”, as that would
   be a temporary solution, not a permanent one. I do use a child theme of Thematic
   though, and I can change those. This is definitely a problem with jQuery and 
   WordPress, not with jPlayer in itself.

 * By replacing “$” with “jQuery”, I was able to get the mp3 player working without
   the line that mentions Google and jQuery. Problem is, I have the same results.
   The jQuery stuff below the mp3 player is broken. It seems I have more than one
   instance of jQuery called. Can someone please help me fix it? [](http://pastebin.com/h1D7VPBr)
