title: Wordpress wp_enqueue_script() NEVER works
body: <p>I've read all the posts and the documentation on wp_enqueue script... but I've NEVER successfully gotten it to work.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I'm doing that works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js"&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  MY CODE
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I know I know this isn't the right way to to do it. So here's what I've tried instead:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
  wp_head();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>No luck.</p>
  
  <pre><code>add_action('init', 'addscripts');
  function addscripts() {
      wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   }
  wp_head();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>No luck.</p>
  
  <pre><code>//in the theme's functions.php file
  add_action('init', 'addscripts');
  //add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'addscripts'); //this also doens't work
  function addscripts() {
      wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also tried the same approaches with the link to the external jquery library at google instead of the <code>jquery</code> tag. I've also tried de-registering and then registering the jquery script. Never works. </p>
  
  <p>So I think these are the key questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there something wrong with my call to the <code>wp_enqueue_script()</code> function?</p></li>
  <li><p>Where should it go? <code>functions.php</code>? <code>header.php</code>?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is there a specific hook that I need to be using that's not mentioned? <code>'init'</code>? <code>'template_redirect'</code>? <code>'wp_enqueue_scripts?'</code>?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please, no copy/pasted snippets from the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script" rel="nofollow">codex</a>! I've read it 50 times and tried them all. I promise.</p>
  
  <p>I'm experimenting with a clean installation of WP3 and adding the above code to the default twentyeleven theme.</p>
