This must be inserted into the functions.php file:
function modify_jquery() {
if (!is_admin()) {
// comment out the next two lines to load the local copy of jQuery
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.6.1');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
}
add_action('init', 'modify_jquery');
------------------------------------------------
This must be inserted into the header.php file (BEFORE WP_HEAD CALL!):
<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>
------------------------------------------------
jQuery functions should be wrapped in this so that $ operator represents no-conflict (BELOW WP_HEAD):
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// $() will work as an alias for jQuery() which is noconflict mode inside of this function
});
</script>
