Use jQuery in WordPress

Question

I wrote a simple jquery function that loads on document ready. It should detect user agent. My site is a WordPress site. My script works in a standard HTML page but not in WordPress. Any ideas?

what does doesn't work mean? Does script get loaded? Does it throw errors? Not much detail here to work from — charlietfl

It loads. Simple alert fires to notify me. Console reports no errors. — user61026

Can you show us your jQuery? So that we may see where the error may be — Michael Doye

Turns out you had to replace the usual $() to jquery() in WordPress.

That's right. Wordpress uses jQuery in 'no-conflict' mode in case another of your Javascript libraries also uses the $ symbol. See here: learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/…
