why does my theme need jQuery (twice) to work?

[divinehammer]

I’m adding [this responsive nav script](http://media02.hongkiat.com/responsive-web-nav/demo/index.html “”) to my theme. It requires putting this into the code:

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ACwjc

But I’d prefer to stick the jQuery link in functions.php, like this –

wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js’, null, ‘1.7.2’, false);

But when I do that, the navigation no longer works. If I have links to the Google ajax libraries in both places it works fine. Why does it matter where I put the link?

To clarify, this is what’s in the header:

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lnpJE

If I remove the second reference to the Google ajax library, the navigation fails.

Im assuming that you are using wordpress. Chris Coyier posted a nice little function to include inside your functions.php.

This is the one i use and never have any problems:

if (!is_admin()) add_action("wp_enqueue_scripts", "my_jquery_enqueue", 11);

function my_jquery_enqueue() {

wp_deregister_script('jquery');

wp_register_script('jquery', "http" . ($_SERVER == 443 ? "s" : "") . "://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js", false, null);

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

}

Here is the article.

Thanks John. For some reason that doesn’t fix it.

This code is what functions.php generates, but doesn’t help the nav work –

Hard-coding this is the only thing that works –

I’m developing this theme locally, but my functions.php section looks like this –

And the head stuff looks like this –
