jQuery conflict – duplicate jQuery loading

[reno.verdi08]

Hi Ernest,

We have our own jquery loaded at the head section, but since there is a duplicate jquery loading from the plugin, it causes some issue on the page.
For example: some datepickers are not working.

deregistering script like below helps remove one jQuery load from the plugin, but somehow plugin stops working (could not initiate search). Even if we match the jquery version 3.5.1 as well.

 add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_plugin_jquery');
 function remove_plugin_jquery(){
     wp_deregister_script('jquery');
 }

I have tried using minified scope too but error still persist.

Could you please advise?

Thanks

Hi,

The plugin does not load jQuery explicitly, it only sets the jquery script as dependency. Instead of deregistering the core jquery from wordpress, try replacing it with your own source without hard coding it to the header.
There is still a chance it will not work, as the wordpress core UI and other essential scripts might be only tested with the jQuery version, which is integrated to wordpress.

Thanks Ernest for the pointer, this is resolved.
