#ENQUEUE SCRIPT WORDPRESS HOW TO#

So let’s move on to how to use these tags to conditionally enqueue scripts in WordPress.

#ENQUEUE SCRIPT WORDPRESS ARCHIVE#

is_category() – When the archive page of a specific category or group of categories is being displayed, narrowed down by using the category ID, name, slug, or an array of a combination of any of the three, plus a few more conditions can be designated.

is_home() – This one gets a bit more tricky, but when used correctly it will display your blog posts page.

(Confusing? Click here for more explanation.)

is_front_page() – When the main blog page is being displayed and the ‘Settings > Reading ->Front page displays’ is set to “Your latest posts”, or when ‘Settings > Reading ->Front page displays’ is set to “A static page” and the “Front Page” value is the current Page being displayed.

is_single() – When a single post of any post type (except attachment and page post types) is being displayed, narrowed down by using the post ID, title, slug, or an array of a combination of any of the three.

Of course, there are a multitude of other conditional tags you can use, found at the link above. For instance, if you only wanted the script to run on a page with the slug of ‘mypage’, you would use the conditional tag if(is_page('mypage')) to conditionally enqueue your script only on that page.

Utilizing these to match the conditions you’re looking for, you can wrap the enqueuing of your script so that it only loads when the condition is met. WordPress has an abundance of conditional tags built in ( see details here). Sign up for Envato Elements and get unlimited downloads starting at only $16.50 per month!
