I am trying to add some jQuery to a page and added the following to the functions file to call on the jQuery library:
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.5.2’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
However this interfered with the functioning of the DynamicContentsGallery. I thought I’d just pull in the local copy of jQuery and commented out the first two lines. Now my little jQuery script did not work. After some experimenting, I got everything to work by just commenting out the first line. This seems strange to me and I am still wondering what would be the best way to call on the jQuery library in this case.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The plugin FAQ has lots of jQuery info:

Yes, one of the options is to switch the gallery from mootools to jQuery which would have solved the conflict, but I had already done a bunch of customizations and did not want to lose them. In any case, its all working now – even if I don’t understand why its working.

Thanks for the link.
