 * I’m trying to discover what I changed so that my scripts are no longer loading.
 * All jquery/plugin scripts are absent when viewing source and I’m getting 3 ‘ReferenceError:
   $ is not defined’ messages.
 * Yesterday I used a custom function to move scripts from header to footer, then
   removed that function because some scripts wouldn’t then work.
 * Maybe I’m not seeing a typo somewhere?
 * I’ll continue working-through this to find the cause, and meantime post this 
   in the hope that someone has ideas.
 * UPDATE: 1-minute later…
 * Removing <?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); wp_head();?
   > was the issue.
 * I don’t use comments and so removed the whole tag.
 * With <?php wp_head(); ?> now restored, all ok.
