To install jQuery on Webflow, you need to follow these steps:
- Go to the Webflow Designer and open the project you want to add jQuery to.
- Once you're in the Designer, go to the "Project Settings" panel, located on the left sidebar.
- In the "Project Settings" panel, click on the "Custom Code" tab.
- In the "Custom Code" tab, you'll see two sections: "Head Code" and "Footer Code". jQuery can be included in either section, depending on your preference. Generally, it is recommended to include it in the "Footer Code" section for better page load times.
- Copy and paste the following code into the appropriate section:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
- Save your changes and publish your site for the jQuery changes to take effect.
That's it! jQuery is now installed on your Webflow project. You can start using jQuery functions and plugins on your website within the custom code or in the embedded code of individual elements.
Note: It is important to keep in mind that the jQuery version used in the provided code is version 3.6.0. You can replace this with a different version if needed. Additionally, make sure to only include the jQuery code once in your project, as including it multiple times will cause conflicts and may lead to unexpected behavior.
