I am developing a site that must be HTTPS secure and WordPress is loading <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script> at the very top of my page, before <html> and giving me an insecure error. I cannot find where this is being loaded from to prevent it from loading.
Unfortunately I cannot show the site as it’s a federal credit union site and it would be against our contract agreement for me to present this site publicly before it is complete.
Here’s a screenshot of the issue via Chrome web dev tools (click to zoom):
When I build themes, I also like to make the WordPress header as clean as possible and then reconstruct it to my own liking. The code below is excessive for your question, but it might help you with other ‘WordPress inserted code’ in the future. The key snippet of code you are looking for is
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', '', '', '', true);
Put this in your functions.php file.
My whole WordPress header cleanup:
/* =Clean up the WordPress head
------------------------------------------------- */
// remove header links
add_action('init', 'tjnz_head_cleanup');
function tjnz_head_cleanup() {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 ); // Category Feeds
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 ); // Post and Comment Feeds
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' ); // EditURI link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' ); // Windows Live Writer
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'index_rel_link' ); // index link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'parent_post_rel_link', 10, 0 ); // previous link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'start_post_rel_link', 10, 0 ); // start link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0 ); // Links for Adjacent Posts
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ); // WP version
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script('jquery'); // De-Register jQuery
wp_register_script('jquery', '', '', '', true); // Register as 'empty', because we manually insert our script in header.php
}
}
// remove WP version from RSS
add_filter('the_generator', 'tjnz_rss_version');
function tjnz_rss_version() { return ''; }
