I'm having issues where multiple copies of jQuery are being loaded onto the page via plugins that require jQuery.

I Just want to confirm that if I have 3 plugins active on my page, that all properly use wp_enqueue_script to load jQuery, will the library be included only once or 3 times?

If all three plugins load jQuery properly using wp_enqueue_script("jquery") then only one copy of jquery will be used.

If you are seeing three copies then some plugins are not playing nice.

    I'd give an extra +1 for the not playing nice comment. This is one of the biggest end-user annoyances in WordPress. Commented May 8, 2012 at 14:59
  • +1 what Chip said. I cannot say how often I have to deal with both plugins and themes that don't load jQuery "nicely". It's unfortunate that I actually get excited when I see a theme or plugin that is doing it correctly, instead of incorrectly. Commented May 8, 2012 at 16:55
