I am a little confused, and when looking the first thing I came across was a duplicate post of this on the WP forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-from-google-cdn-fall-back-to-wp-local :) ..but I would load my first choice with my method using wp_head (functions.php) as I have stated, then use the fallback call immediately after this just in case, ..but in the header.php underneath wp_head() as done in the first post of the link above, ….instead using your cdn version instead of the loca one referenced.

I load all my JS in the head (because I need to). How do I ensure I have a fallback for a CDN in the header? I had something like this (see below) which worked until I moved it into functions.php with enqueue stuff.




      if (!window.jQuery) {
         document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/tpl/js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
      }

Can you let me know the url, ..and if possible set me up some admin login details so I can take a look.

Any idea why this would cause the WordPress Menu’s to not work? You can’t drag and drop the list items in the Menu’s section of WordPress. Remove the code, and it works again. Any ideas?

you are the man.
i was trying to trick wp head, but the idea, simply exluding the call for jquery via the function.php never came to my mind.

thanks for making me a happy boy again.

I didn’t need to include the CDN version, just remove jQuery all together which I’ve never needed to do before so you just saved me a bunch of time – thanks!

Glad to hear it, ..let me know if the fix isn’t as much of a fix as you thought ;)
