How To Use Jquery Wrapper In WordPress, JS Code Example

WordPress has its own version of the jQuery library and using $ operator will end up with js errors in your browser console. The solution is to enqueue jQuery if you haven’t already then add a wrapper function.

Enqueue the jQuery library

To use jQuery in your themes and plugins you have to enqueue the script. in your functions.php file.

wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); 

Add a wrapper function

Now let’s add this jQuery wrapper function:

(function($) {
	
	// $ Test it with the next line if you like
	// console.log($);
	
})( jQuery );

Now you can use $ instead of jQuery prefix in your scripts. Enjoy 🙂

Thanks for your time,
