(By the way, I tried to post a comment on that page, but my comment was not submitted).<br /> I have always loaded jQuery from Google's API, because I wanted to use the latest version at the time of developing the site, plus I thought there were some speed advantages in doing so. I might be very wrong. :-)</p> <p>This is how I do it:<br /> <pre><code>add_action( &#39;wp_enqueue_scripts&#39;, &#39;load_javascript_files&#39; ); /** * Load scripts */ function load_javascript_files() { if (!is_admin()) { wp_deregister_script(&#39;jquery&#39;); wp_register_script(&#39;jquery&#39;, &#39;https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js&#39;, false, &#39;1.7.2&#39;, false); wp_enqueue_script(&#39;jquery&#39;); } }</code></pre> <p>Do you advice not to do this or what is your opinion on this method?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Vayu </p>
