Best Practice for deregistering jQUery

[Steve Guy]

The calendar’s AJAX navigation was not working for us initially. After research I did determine that a version of jQuery (1.12.4) was causing the issue. I registered the jquery library using wp_enqueue_script().

I don’t need this jQuery reference on the tribe templates… but not sure the best practice for excluding it. I’ve tried deregistering the script (wp_deregister_script), plus removing the action that initializes the script… but to no avail.

What is the best way to approach this? I do need the script call with the remainder of the site.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for reaching out.

The best practice is to have no custom registration or de-registration of jQuery whatsoever. SO, when you say, ” I registered the jquery library using wp_enqueue_script().”, what I would recommend doing is removing all custom registrations of jQuery on your site.

WordPress Core provides its own built-in version of jQuery, and it is very bad practice to alter this version at all.

So, ensure that you’re not using any custom-loaded version of jQuery, and that your theme itself is also not de-registering/re-registering its own version of jQuery.

In this state, how do things behave? If things are broken, then can you share a link to the specific events page where it’s broken? I’ll take a closer look with that and see if I can try and identify the problem more specifically.

Thanks,
George
