Getting jQuery Working with WordPress

    This is for http://fitfx.com

    Ok, I have started to mess with Gravity Forms on a recent theme for a client. They are using a WordPress theme with several jQuery plugins. I have found that jQuery is queued twice (once as <?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?> and once from Google). I know this is the root cause of my problems, but I need a little help getting everything playing nicely.

    I'd like to use the bundled version of jQuery that comes with WordPress. But when I delete the Google version, the cycle.lite.js plugin stops working.

    I have read in several places about using "jQuery" instead of "$". Here is the code that's being used for the cycle plugin:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('.slideshow').cycle({
    timeout: 10, // milliseconds between slide transitions (0 to disable auto advance)
    speed: 1000, // speed of the transition (any valid fx speed value)
    });

    $('#s3slider').s3Slider({
    timeOut: 6500
    });
    });
    </script>

    Can you tell me what's going wrong here?

    If you need me to email the un/pw for the site let me know.

    Thanks for your help!

    FYI: The above code is actually for BOTH the s3 slider and the cylce plugin.

  3. Are you having a problem with your forms working as a result of these other scripts? I didn't see that you mentioned it.

    And yes, most of the time using "jQuery" instead of "$" in the script will work using the enqueued version of jQuery in WordPress. Have you tried that on this script?
