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.
You can disable the plugin on specific pages and posts directly via the post/page edit screen metabox.
You can disable the plugin on specific archive pages (blog page, search page, post type and taxonomy archives) via the settings page.
Everything Broken? 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.
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.
<h4>Keeping specific Scripts in the Header</h4>
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).
Specifically for jQuery, see the settings page option, as it is a common request we’ve built it into the settings.
For any other scripts, use this filter:
<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>
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 if it’s enqueued. 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>.
Note: 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.
<h4>Custom Post Type Support</h4>
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:
<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>
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!).
For example, for the “page” post type:
<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>
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>.

This plugin lets the user write a separate description for each post, page, front page or custom post type post which is added as a meta description to the html head.
The individual description for a post or page is typed and edited in a separate text field just below the text field for editing the post text.
You can also add meta description to category, tag and custom taxonomy archive as well as front page.
To add description to a category, go to Dashboard > Posts > Categories. Select a category in the table to the wright or create a new category. Type the description in the text field Description, Weather or not this description will be viewed for visitors on the site is up to each theme. The Easy WP Meta Description plugin will add the description as meta information in the html head.
Descriptions for tag and custom taxonomies are edited in similar fashion.
To edit a front page description you would go to Dashboard > Settings > General and edit Front page meta description. 
If you use a static page as Front page the static page Meta description will be used and Front page meta description at general setting will now show.
This plugin relies on the wp_head() action hook. It will only work if the theme uses it. Most themes do.
When deleted uninstall script runs which deletes all changes in the database perfomed by the plugin. 
If you dont want to delete your descriptions and other settings only deactivate and dont delete.
Tested with Gutenberg.
