# jQuery loading problem

 * I have a theme that tablepress and only tablepress seems to be breaking.
 * The theme uses…
 * `wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
 * EVERY other plugin including a ton of woocommerce and other plugins seem to respect
   this and do not load the default version of jquery as they usually would and 
   everything works just fine UNLESS tablepress is used on any page or post in which
   case it appears that for whatever reason tablepress causes the load of a second
   copy of jquery after everything else is already using that first version which
   breaks EVERYTHING else but tablepress.
 * Would love some assistance in figure out how to fix this quickly as tablepress(
   as everything else is required to make this work).
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The solution here is to not deregister the jQuery that comes with WordPress. 
   This is very bad practice. (According to the WP Theme Directory rules, the theme
   would no longer be accepted in the repository while doing this!)
 * If you really must replace jQuery with a different version (there’s really no
   need to!) you should use a plugin like jQuery Update maybe, which does it the
   proper way.
    The important thing is to deregister/re-enqueue on the `jquery-core`
   script handle.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * IE… I am assuming everything else depends on ‘jquery’ and tablepress depends 
   on ‘jquery-core’ or something along those lines??

 * Hi,
 * correct, TablePress directly uses `jquery-core` as its code has been tested and
   coded so that it does no longer require the `jquery-migrate` script (which by
   design should only be used for a short period of time while migrating old code
   into new code).
    With that, TablePress helps to reduce the loading time on all
   those sites where no other plugin or theme is using the `jquery` handle.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
