17,649 PointsUncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
I get this error in the console when refreshing my page:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
with a link to line 1 of my javascript file, which is identical to the one in the project downloads and the one in the video (as far as I can tell).
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('.wptreehouse-badge').hover(function() {
$(this).find('.wptreehouse-badge-info').stop(true, true).fadeIn(200);
}, function() {
$(this).find('.wptreehouse-badge-info').stop(true, true).fadeOut(200);
});
$.post(ajaxurl, {
action: 'wptreehouse_badges_refresh_profile'
}, function( response ) {
console.log( 'AJAX complete' );
});
});
From googling the error it sounds like I need to include jQuery somehow...but other posts say jQuery is already included in WordPress (I'm using WP 4.4.2)

17,649 PointsOh. I figured it out. I'll post it here, though, in case someone else has the same problem.
I had to add array('jquery') as a third argument in my enqueue_script function in the main plugin file. Zac's file doesn't include that third argument, so maybe it's something unique to my setup or version of wordpress. But my code now looks like this:
<?php
function wptreehouse_badges_frontend_scripts_and_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'wptreehouse_badges_frontend_css', plugins_url( 'wptreehouse-badges/wptreehouse-badges.css' ) );
wp_enqueue_script( 'wptreehouse_badges_frontend_js', plugins_url( 'wptreehouse-badges/wptreehouse-badges.js' ), array('jquery') );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wptreehouse_badges_frontend_scripts_and_styles');
?>
Sorry to answer my own question...hopefully this is helpful to someone in the future.
