wp_enqueue_script('jquery-effects-shake');

..doesn't seem to work, no matter where I put it. I've tried the following and lots of googling:

function my_callback() {
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-effects-shake');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_callback');

and 

<?php
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-effects-shake');
    get_header(); 
?>

Thanks!

  • What does "doesnt work" mean? Have you viewed source to see if the script loads? Or are you saying you can't make a script shake (which could be a whole boatload of other problem) Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 3:15
  • It isn't adding the script to <head>. Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 18:53
  • toscho: That is one of the docs that I read. I am doing the same thing and it's still not adding the script to <head> Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 18:55
  • Is the theme using the wp_head and wp_footer function calls? You said it's not loading in <head>, does that mean it's loading somewhere else or not at all? Commented Oct 25, 2013 at 3:31

Make sure you are also including the jquery effects core... and jquery if it's not already being loaded.

function my_callback() {
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery');  // If not already loaded
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-effects-core');
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-effects-shake');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_callback');

  • Shouldn't those be automatically included as Dependencies? Adding them made no difference for me. Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 18:53
  • Are you trying to do this in the admin panel, or in a template file for the front-end of the site? Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 19:15
