Notice: wp_register_script was called incorrectly (11 posts)

    Please, someone put me out of my misery and let me know what is a most probable reason for this problem:

    As far as I checked (at least 10 times) all my scripts are registered and enqueued as they should be...

    Notice: wp_register_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in my_path/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3587

    Thank you!

    Post the source of the file that is causing the errors - will allow us to debug and find the problem.

    Thanks.

    That would be rather difficult since the error does not say... I have a functions.php including a bunch of other custom scripts - as I exclude those, error remains... so they are not the problem :(

    Is it a custom theme or a fresh install of WordPress?

    It is my custom "work" and wordpress 3.3.1.
    I was thinking this might be some kind of more obvious error maybe... but it probably isn't... I am most certain that it is my mistake, since almost always is :)

    Well if you post the code where you enqueued scripts etc, that'll help.

    That would be to many code to post since I can't even find the origin of the error - we are talking about 40 files... I will have to take some more time and find the error... As I see now, the only thing that could be a problem is that some script is not registered when it should be... I will just have to revisit all my code.

    James, thank you for your effort... I am sorry that we couldn't get anywhere with this one :/

    Hi Michael, i believe it has soemthing to do with the way you are supposed to register/enqueue your scripts.. basically the php notice is saying that you are using wp_register_script incorrectly. read this for more info. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script

    you have to hook the register function into either wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init.

    so, to use wp_register_script() properly do it like this:

    add_action('wp_enqueue_script','register_my_scripts');
    
    function register_my_scripts(){
    wp_register_script('xxx');
    }

    Where in the theme directory's functions.php file does that code go?

    Thanks!

    does not matter really... just put it "here" and "there".. test it.

    basically, just go through all the places where you used wp_register_script() function and hook it to either "wp_enqueue_scripts", "init" or "admin_enqueue_scripts"
