I am working on a site that uses jQuery for a number of functions but I am having a repeating error:

hoverIntent is not a function

I have referenced similar questions on this forum and they almost universally say that it is due to multiple references to jQuery, however, I have carefully reviewed the code and the source code and cannot find any duplicate references.

There is just this one in functions.php

// Load jQuery
if ( !is_admin() ) {
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"), false);
   wp_register_script('jquery', ("js/jquery.dropmenu.js"), false);
   wp_register_script('jquery', ("js/jquery.dropmenu2.js"), false);  
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}

I would really appreciate another set of eyes to help pinpoint and resolve this dilemma.

  • Are you by any chance enqueuing jquery after the script that depends on it? Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 16:33
  • Good question, but jQuery is listed first. Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 17:22

According to the wp_register_script() Codex the first parameter handle should have a unique name.

If we look at the paramters of the wp_register_script() function it breaks down like this:

wp_register_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer );

So your wp_register_script() function should also break down into a similar way:

wp_register_script( 'dropmenu1', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/js/jquery.dropmenu.js', array('jquery'), '', false);

  • Howdy, I am not sure how this would be implemented. Does it replace the entire wg_register_script block or just the one with dropmenu in it? I tried both and I still get the error. Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 17:25
  • Where are you putting your current code? Are you using any hooks like wp_enqueue_scripts? This is a good example of how registering and enqueueing works in WordPress Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 17:28

I discovered that the HoverIntent is optional for the drop menu plugin. I turned that off and everything is working correctly now.
