jquery - JavaScript WordPress uncaught typeerror $ is not a function

Question

$(document).ready(function(){
   $(".showhide").click(function(){
      $("nav").slideToggle("slow");
   });
});

I'm not a JavaScript programmer. I'm getting this error: Uncaught TypeError $ is not a function

For some reason my navigation is not working. Someone told me to put this in JavaScript but I'm getting the error.

Found this: jQuery(document); but don't know how to use this.

Answer 1

This is how you should do it specially on WordPress (since Wordpress is usually using jQuery instead of $)

(function($){
  $(document).ready(function(){
   $(".showhide").click(function(){
      $("nav").slideToggle("slow");
   });
  });

})(jQuery);

Reference here

or if you don't like the answer above, you can add var $ = jQuery; before the $(document).ready function
