How to fix code from not displaying on wordpress page - wordpress

This code will not display on any of my wordpress pages. It returns a blank page even when I load from incognito mode.
<script defer src="https://connect.podium.com/widget.js#API_TOKEN=91c679dc-e819-4506-851e-f4cd664249ae" id="podium-widget" data-api-token="91c679dc-e819-4506-851e-f4cd664249ae"></script>

If you would like this script to show up on all your pages, you can use the wp_enqueue_scripts action. This code should be added into your functions.php file inside of your theme. Below is an example of doing that.
//enqueue our scripts and styles
function mydomain_add_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style('Podium', 'https://connect.podium.com/widget.js#API_TOKEN=91c679dc-e819-4506-851e-f4cd664249ae');
}
//bind custom script and style load
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mydomain_add_theme_scripts' );
Please me know if that works for you. If not, share any console errors, etc.

WordPress using different CSS - is this possible?

Bit is a basic question here but can someone confirm that this statement be confirmed: WordPress Pages (certain templates created within) can pull different CSS and JS?
Or - does WordPress only permit universal CSS + JS to be pulled across the entire site?
Thanks for clearing this up.
Depends on what plugin and themes you use. The WordPress/PHP functions wp_enqueue_style() and wp_enqueue_script() can be used literally by everyone (core, themes, plugins, you) to request WordPress to load styles or JavaSctript. You can combine this with WordPress functions to check whether the current page is something you want to filter for (post type, post, front-page, category archive, template, etc.). Here is an example to load a custom style if on front page :
if (is_front_page()) {
wp_enqueue_style('custom-frontpage', 'my/path/to/frontpage.css');
}
You will have to hook this piece of code to the wp_enqueue_script action so that WordPress executes it at the appropriate time. Here is an example using an anonymous function:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
if (is_front_page())
wp_enqueue_style('custom-frontpage', 'my/path/to/frontpage.css');
});
You can also register your code as a "normal" function and pass the functions name to add_action() instead.
Edit: Enabling and disabling plugins is a bit more difficult, since you can never know how they implement their features without examining the source code. Here are my thoughts on this:
The plugin likely uses the above method (wp_enqueue_styles, wp_enqueue_scripts) to register it's styles and scripts. The plugin, since it assumes to be needed on all pages and posts, does this on every page without the conditional checking described earlier.
You could do one of the following to stop the plugin from doing this:
Identify the place where the plugin loads the styles and scripts and add the if-statement to only do so if the post-ID matches your desired post-ID. This method is bad since your changes are lost every time the plugin is updated.
Write a "counter plugin" (you could just add it to your theme or find a plugin that allowes you to add PHP to your page) that "dequeues" the style and script added by the plugin with inversed conditional tag
The counter-plugin approach would look as follows:
function custom_unregister_plugin() {
if (not the desired blog post) {
wp_dequeue_style('my-plugin-stylesheet-handle');
wp_dequeue_script('my-plugin-script-handle');
}
}
Make sure this function is executed after the enqueuing-code of your plugin by giving it a low priority in the same hook (999 is just an example, test it yourself):
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_unregister_plugin', 999);
With wp_enqueue_style() you can add stylesheet (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/)
You can use it after detecting which template is used
function enqueue_custom_stylesheet() {
if(get_page_template() == 'contact.php')
wp_enqueue_style( 'contact-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/contact.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_custom_stylesheet' );
You can use wp_enqueue_style for your CSS, wp_enqueue_script for your JS, wp_localize_script to pass variables from PHP to JS.
You can call these with hooks like:
funtion enqueue_my_stuff()
{
// your enqueue function calls
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','enqueue_my_stuff'); //front end
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts','enqueue_my_stuff'); //admin panel
add_action('login_enqueue_scripts','enqueue_my_stuff'); //login screen

Is there a better way to get dynamic CSS settings into a WP page?

I'm working on a plugin where I need some of the colors to be settable in the admin.
Right now, I have these color settings saved with the WP update_option() function. Then, when I need to display a page, I use the get_option() function then embed the color codes like this:
<style>
.some_class{ background-color: <?php echo $settings->color_code;?>; }
</style>
Of course, this works. But it seems a bit clumsy because the plugin can load one of several PHP based pages. So, for each one, I have to do the above.
Is there some way to get this tag into all my plugins pages without doing it page by page?
for frontend:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_css', 100 );
function custom_css(){
echo '<style>css here!</style>';
}
it should print after your current css stylesheets so it will override prev. css

wordpress can't dequeue script/style that has query

Not sure if I worded it correctly but basically I wanted to load plugin CSS/JS on pages only that uses the actual plugins.. I have gotten a lot of it done by search thru the plugin files for any handles used in wp_enqueue_script within the plugins and simply wp_dequeue_script them in functions.php
However, there are some enqueues for style that include a .php and not a css file, for example.. in the plugin it enqueues a file
wp_enqueue_style("myrp-stuff", MYRP_PLUGIN_URL . "/myrp-hotlink-css.php");
so I've tried:
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff');
It doesn't work
However, when the page/post is rendered it shows as
<link rel='stylesheet' id='myrp-stuff-css' href='http://www.modernlogic.co/wp/wp-content/plugins/MyRP/myrp-hotlink-css.php?ver=3.4.2' type='text/css' media='all' />
It addes -css to the id and it refuses to dequeue/deregister and be moved.
I have also tried the following with no luck
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff-css');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff-css');
Any suggestions?
Scripts and styles can be enqueued in any order and at anytime before wp_print_* actions are triggered. Which can make it difficult to remove them from the queue before output.
To make dequeue work consistently hook into into wp_print_styles or wp_print_scripts with a high priority, as this will remove the scripts and styles just before output.
For instance in your plugin loader code or template's functions.php file you could have a function and action hook like this:
function remove_assets() {
wp_dequeue_style('myrp-stuff');
wp_deregister_style('myrp-stuff');
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'remove_assets', PHP_INT_MAX );
Setting a high priority (third argument to add_action) when hooking into the action will help ensure that the callback remove_assets gets called last, just before scripts/styles are printed.
Note, while this technique is legitimate for removing scripts/styles it should't be used for adding assets. See this Wordpress Core blog post for more info.
Just to be sure, have you placed your code inside a function called by an action like this?:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_function');
function dequeue_function() {
wp_dequeue_style( array('myrp-stuff', 'myrp-stuff-css') );
wp_deregister_style( array('myrp-stuff', 'myrp-stuff-css') );
}

Wordpress: Add to wp_head() from page

In Wordpress, I have a page template that uses a specific JS file and CSS file that no other part of the site uses. On this specific template page, is there any way to add these items to the head, before wp_head is called?
I realize I could use is_page_template() in a conditional but my head file is getting out of control.
If you look here http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference you can see that the hook called just before wp_head is get_header
So what you need to do is: add an action called on that hook, test if you are on the page that you want and if you are add the script and the css
This would happen in a plugin (not in the theme files like header.php or functions.php) and it would look something like this:
// call the function that adds your current script
add_action('get_header', 'add_that_script');
function add_that_script()
{
if (is_page(SOME_PAGE_IDENTIFIER)) // this is the page you need; check http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page on how to use this function; you can provide as a parameter the id, title, name or an array..
{
wp_register_script( 'mycustomscript', 'http://www.example.com/script.css'); // register your script
wp_enqueue_script( 'mycustomscript' ); // enqueue it to be added in the head section
wp_register_style( 'mycustomstyle', 'http://www.example.com/example.css'); // register your css
wp_enqueue_style( 'mycustomstyle' ); // enqueue it to be added in the head section
}
}
You just need to replace the id for your page and the urls to the js file and to the css. Sure, maybe you want to test some other way if you are on the right page, but I think that this shows the idea.
What about using?
if(is_page('Your Page Name')):
// do something for me
endif;
i believe u can do it from functions.php. it's tidier if you do it from there. i suggest, unless that js file is really big, you are better off including it everywhere and use wp-minify to group all js files together into one.

Loading javascript into wordpress wp_enqueue_script() problem

I am trying to get my custom javascript (jQuery) to load correctly in Wordpress.
I know you have to use wp_enqueue_script() to do this correctly. However the problem I have is that the result is not my script, but in the place I should have javascript I have the code for a 404 page !
I've tried two ways of enqueueing the script :
wp_enqueue_script('sitescript', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/javascript/sitescript.js', array('jquery'),1);
just above wp_head()
and :function my_script_load() {
wp_enqueue_script('sitescript', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/javascript/sitescript.js', array('jquery'),null);
}
add_action('init', 'my_script_load');
in functions.php
both methods have the same effect. When I inspect the HTML in firebug I find the script is corredtly referenced :
<script src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/doric2011/javascript/sitescript.js" type="text/javascript">
however when I inspect the script itself I find the following (an extract) :`
Page not found | Nick Kai Nielsen
and so on... It is a HTML output for a 404 page, but occupying a space where javascript should be...
Needless to say the script does not work.
I have only had this problem since updating to 3.1 and it does the same thing if I try loading highslide.js and highslide.config.js (professionally written scripts). The script I wish to load is already working on my site and I want to go on using it in the new theme I am developing.
has anyone any idea of what is happening ? And, of course, what should I do about it ?
This is a local installation - I'm not risking breaking my site until this is sorted out.
Try:
add_action('init', 'my_script_load');
function my_script_load() {
wp_register_script('sitescript', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/javascript/sitescript.js', array('jquery'), true);
wp_enqueue_script('sitescript');
}
Assuming your javascript file is in the proper location (and the URL isn't pointing to a spot where the JS file isn't...) try this:
function add_my_scripts() {
$templatedir = get_bloginfo('template_directory');
if(!is_admin()) {
wp_register_script( 'sitescript', $templatedir . '/javascript/sitescript.js');
wp_enqueue_script( 'sitescript' );
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_my_scripts');
