Has nothing to do with being patient. How was I supposed to know that? All I saw was a screen that said “Topic closed” I took it’s word for it.

Never mind, delete this post, i got it.

Deleted plugin files using FTP.

It wasn’t a theme issue or a multisite issue. I simply needed to go to the WordPress “Screen Options” tab at the top and check off “theme locations” option. It was WordPress related.

I don’t think its a theme related issue. Same thing happens with twenty ten theme. I’m on a MU install btw.

Ok I finally got this alert to work on my front page:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  alert('test');
});
</script>

.. by placing the above code in the the header. So jQuery is loading and functional on my site. So why then do none of the below scripts work in place of the alert?

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("div.content:has(div.page)").css("border","3px solid red");
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("div.content").css("border","3px solid red");
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("a").css("border","3px solid red");
</script>

I must be missing something basic here.

Ok, so since register_script doesn’t enqueue it, then I should be enqueuing it from funtions.php, along with conditional php tags to tell it what page to enqueue it for? Also, does that mean I don’t need that enqueue code in my themes header? cuz i was told to put it there if i wanted to use google’s version of jquery to be sure its always up do date.

I read the tutorial and im still lost. I really just need someone to literally just give me sample code and tell me where it goes. I’m really sorry for my ignorance, but I’m getting so many different types of code, etc. that im just plain confused now.

That tutorial didn’t even tell me where that code goes. And what goes into the area where it said ” // Actual short code handling here ” What is shortcode? Why do I need that? See? Now there is a new thing I don’t know about again, shortcode. Now I’m even more confused.

First off, could someone first tell me if the code I have in my header and functions.php (above) is correct? If not, how do I correct it? How should it look? How do I call for my .js file in functions.php? Then, how would a sample script look in my actual .js file… and I need the whole thing, the complete text, how to start it, how to end it.

Also, since I now know that I need to refer to my .js file from my functions.php, does that mean every time I want to add another custom jquery feature that I need to call for it again in my functions.php as well as create yet another .js file for it?

Also, I only want certain scripts on certain pages, so what is a crystal clear, no-nonsense method of using conditional tags to add only certain scripts to certain pages?

Thanks for any help, you guys rock.

After a bit of research, I know for sure that because my theme adds jQuery automatically by activating it through the configuration, this is not needed in custom functions:

<?php
function insert_jquery(){
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
add_filter('wp_head','insert_jquery');
?>

And although I looked at that tutorial and it helped me understand better, but I still don’t know how to write up the function for my situation. I have written up a hypothetical script. Could someone look at it and see if everything is ok? Also, the parts I’m unsure about for my situation are shown in a “whatgoeshere”:

<?php if( is_page(5) ) function whatgoeshere (){
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
?>
<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery("div.headway-leaf-inside:has(div.page)").addClass("cj-pagepad");
})
});

</script>
<?php
}
add_filter(' whatgoeshere ');

Or is this the right way:

<?php if( is_page(5) ) { ?>

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery("div.headway-leaf-inside:has(div.page)").addClass("cj-pagepad");
})
});

</script>
<?php
}
add_filter(' whatgoeshere ');

If I can just get corrections on this code, I think I’ll have it. I’m almost there. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. I really appreciate it.
