  Hello Alexander,
  
  after upgrading to 4.4.3.4 I’ve ran into another issue. When I try to use $ in my CustomJS code I’m getting an error message, which is the same when I put in a debugger and do it through console in my browser.
  
  However, when I use “jQuery” instead of “$” it works just fine. Since it has been working before, this looks to me like a DFFS issue.
  
  It would be really nice if you could confirm/deny this.
  
  Kind regards
  Andreas

  DFFS should reveal $ as a global variable along with jQuery and jQspjs. Which version of jQuery is loaded? – check it by typing this in the console or use console.log in your custom js:
```
jQuery.fn.jquery
```

  The loaded version is “1.12.4”

  It may be an issue with either the DFFS loader, or with require.js if you are on SharePoint online.
  
  You should however use jQuery as SharePoint sometimes overwrites $.
  
  I’ll make a little change to the DFFS loader to see if it might be there the problem originates.

  Hello Alexander,
  
  I’m on SharePoint 2013 OnPremise and I was able to reproduce the issue on a second farm in a brand new Teamsite (englisch language).
  
  If there’s anything I can help you with or more information I can provide, please let me know.

  Could you try v4.4.3.5 to see if there is any difference? In the DFFS_loader, I use this snippet in the loader to ensure $ is defined, but some other code might override it afterwards.
```
jQspjs = jQuery.noConflict();
// Ensure $ and jQuery are defined
if(typeof $ !== "function"){
    $ = jQspjs;
}
if(typeof jQuery !== "function"){
    jQuery = jQspjs;
}
load_DFFS_files();
```

  Hello Alexander,
  
  I have to report that the issue remains when using $, but using jQuery works fine. Not sure what I can do to provide more detailled information.

  Not sure. If you open the dev console and type in
```
$
```
  Do you get “undefined” or another function? (SP uses this namespace for some functions and may overwrite it).
