/*Problem
The jQuery is not working in WordPress plug-in writing? When you try to test a simple jQuery effect like following */

$(document).ready(function(){
  alert('test');
});

Solution
In WordPress, the$() syntax is always used by other scripting library, and causing the conflict issue and fail to call the jQuery function. You should use jQuery() instead…

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  alert('test');
});
Copy
Alternatively, you can use noConflict() …

$j=jQuery.noConflict();

// Use jQuery via $j(...)
$j(document).ready(function(){
  alert('test');
});
