Re: Registering and referencing jQuery scripts the right way in WordPress

[TheDoc]

This is what I’ve most recently used in my functions.php:

if( !is_admin()){

wp_deregister_script('jquery');

wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"), false, '1.6.2');

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

}

It sort of resets everything. The !is_admin is important because you don’t want to be messing around with the backend.

Then, in your header.php, you’ll want to put:

…just before the closing head tag.
