<p>This small plugin moves scripts to the footer. Note that this only works if you have plugins and a theme that utilizes <code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code> correctly.</p>
<p>You can disable the plugin on specific pages and posts directly via the post/page edit screen metabox.</p>
<p>You can disable the plugin on specific archive pages (blog page, search page, post type and taxonomy archives) via the settings page.</p>
<p><strong>Everything Broken?</strong> Try placing jQuery back into the header via Settings > Scripts to Footer, “Keep jQuery in the Header” checkbox. If that doesn’t work, refer to the walkthrough below for using the <code>stf_exclude_scripts</code> filter for the script that is causing the issue.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="https://github.com/joshuadavidnelson/scripts-to-footer/wiki" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a> on <a href="https://github.com/joshuadavidnelson/scripts-to-footer" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> or some quick walkthroughs below.</p>
<h4>Keeping specific Scripts in the Header</h4>
<p>As of version 0.6 you can now keep specific scripts in the header. Note: this will print any scripts they depend on as well (if you want to keep <code>jquery-effects-core</code> in the header, you’ll also get <code>jQuery</code> in the header, so no need to add both).</p>
<p>Specifically for jQuery, see the settings page option, as it is a common request we’ve built it into the settings.</p>
<p>For any other scripts, use this filter:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'stf_exclude_scripts', 'jdn_header_scripts', 10, 1 );
function jdn_header_scripts( $scripts ) {

    $scripts[] = 'backbone'; // Replace 'backbone' with the script slug

    return $scripts;
}
</code></pre>
<p>You will need the correct script slug, which is used when the script is registered, and the script will only be printed into the header <em>if it’s enqueued</em>. Check out the scripts that come registered <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#Default_Scripts_Included_and_Registered_by_WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">out-of-the-box with WordPress</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> As of version 0.6.3, <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow ugc">conditional tags</a> will work with the <code>stf_exclude_scripts</code> filter.</p>
<h4>Custom Post Type Support</h4>
<p>If you’re comfortable with code you can use the <code>scripts_to_footer_post_types</code> filter to change the post types this applies to (it only applies to pages and posts by default). For example, if you have a custom post type called “project” you could add support for this metabox via the post type filter like this:</p>
<pre><code>function stf_add_cpt_support( $post_types ) {

    $post_types[] = 'project';

    return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'scripts_to_footer_post_types', 'stf_add_cpt_support' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Excluding Pages/Posts/Templates Via Filter</h4>
<p>You can either use the checkbox option to disable the plugin’s action on a specific page/post, or you can utilize a filter. The filter also passes the post/page id, if there is one (archive templates don’t have ids!).</p>
<p>For example, for the “page” post type:</p>
<pre><code>function stf_exclude_my_page( $exclude_page, $post_id ) {

    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        $exclude_page = 'on'; // this turns on the "exclude" option
    }

    return $exclude_page;
}
add_filter( 'stf_page', 'stf_exclude_my_page' );
</code></pre>
<p>Replace <code>stf_page</code> with <code>stf_post</code> for posts, or the slug of your custom post type. For instance, a post type called “project” can be filtered with <code>stf_project</code>.</p>

<p>Adds any content (CSS, Javascript, meta, etc…) to the head section of every page of your WordPress site. You control the content by editing a text file, “headContent.php”, located at the root level of this plugin’s directory. The easiest way to edit the contents of that file is to go to the Editor in the Plugins menu, select the “Add to Head” plugin, and then click to edit the “headContent.php” file. Yep. That should do it.</p>
