# Load newer JQuery version..

 * Im trying to load the latest version of jQuery (1.8.3) inside my theme. I`ve 
   tried a few things including both of the following inside my themes header.php
   as follows:
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_script('jquery','//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js', true);
       ```
   
 * Also tried to de-register jquery and register with new one as follows:
 *     ```
       wp_deregister_script('jquery');
       wp_register_script('jquery', '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js', true);
       ```
   
 * And finally tried putting the following into functions.php :
 *     ```
       function my_enqueue_scripts() {
       	wp_deregister_script('jquery');
       	wp_register_script('jquery','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js');
       	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
       }
   
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_scripts');
       ```
   
 * But no joy whatsoever so far.. Any help appreciated!

 * Hi Knipple,
 * Try this
 * `wp_register_script ('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/
   jquery.min.js', array(), '1.8.3', true);`

 * Hi Prasath,
 * Unfortunately that isnt working. Im checking which script is loading via Firebug
   and when i use enqueue etc it changes the order that jQuery loads but keeps loading
   1.6.4 …
