# wp_enqueue_script won't load remote scripts

 * I’ve been trying to troubleshoot an issue I’ve been having with wp_enqueue_script
   for over a week now. I’ve read everything I can find on wp_enqueue_script and
   nothing addresses the problem I’m experiencing.
 * Here’s the code in my functions.php:
 *     ```
       function my_scripts() {
           wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
           wp_enqueue_script( 'modernizr', 'http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.0.6/modernizr.min.js', 'jquery', false );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts' );
       ```
   
 * The issue I’m having is that modernizr isn’t getting loaded. If I view the source
   that’s being generated I see this:
 * `<script type='text/javascript' src='/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.0.6/modernizr.min.
   js?ver=3.5.1'></script>`
 * Somehow the remote url is being removed. My question is why? And how do I get
   it to load from the remote source I’ve specified?
 * Thanks in advance for any help you’re able to provide.
 * Best,
    Mac

           wp_enqueue_script( 'modernizr', '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.0.6/modernizr.min.js', 'jquery', false );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts' );
       ```

 * I solved this issue this morning—there was nothing wrong with my code, the actual
   problem was being caused the the Root Relative URLs plugin that Rackspace installs
   by default when you setup a WordPress site on their Cloud Sites platform. I disabled
   that plugin and the issue disappeared. I appreciate the reply nonetheless—it 
   was a good thought. Thank you!
