TypeError: $ is not a function when calling jQuery function

Question

I have a simple jQuery script in a WordPress plugin that is using a jQuery wrapper like this:

$(document).ready(function(){

    // jQuery code is in here

}         


        

Answer 1

You can avoid confliction like this

var jq=jQuery.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function(){  
  alert("Hi this will not conflict now");
  jq('selector').show();
});
