Hi there,

 

I am running TubePress Pro 3.1.1 on Wordpress 3.9.1.

 

Currently TubePress's assets (tubepress.css and tubepress.js) load on every page on my site. This is unnecessary, as the plugin is only utilized on a few pages.

 

How do I prevent the assets from loading on certain pages?

 

Better yet, how do whitelist which pages the assets should load on?

Hello ddover,

 

Due to the way that wordpress works, it is not possible to prevent TubePress from loading on certain pages, while loading on others.  Please note that the js and css files are very tiny and most likely do not impact the load time of your site.

 

Thanks!

With all due respect, that is clearly not the case: See http://codex.wordpre...ference/is_page and http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_single

 

Note that these functions allow for parameters which allow you to specify IDs and Titles and Slugs to identify specific pages and posts.

 

 

Would you mind running my question by one of your developers?

Hi ddover,

 

I've asked a developer to look at your post.

 

Thanks

Hi ddover,
 
Thanks for the good question. As Brandon indicated, TubePress doesn't offer out-of-the-box support for selective page loading in WordPress environments. While it's certainly possible to selectively load plugins, we're not aware of any non-programmatic way to do this easily. That said, it seems like you are pretty comfortable with PHP and the WordPress API, so here are some tips:
 
In TubePress 3.1.x and below, here is where TubePress enqueues its script and CSS file. You can ignore the $wordPressFunctionWrapper-> noise as that is simply there for unit testing. e.g. 

$wordPressFunctionWrapper->wp_enqueue_script()

is the same as

wp_enqueue_script()

So you could easily add some logic at line 56 to only run on certain pages. e.g.

...
if (!is_page('my videos')) {
    return;
}
$wordPressFunctionWrapper->wp_register_script('tubepress', $jsUrl);
$wordPressFunctionWrapper->wp_register_style('tubepress', $cssUrl);
...

Does that answer your question?

Thanks Eric,

 

That is the information I am looking for! You rock, thanks!
