Description
This plugin will try to load different Javascript files based on the blog section that is being viewed.
It can be really useful if you make extensive use of Javascript in your theme and want to split the code in different files and load functions only when you need them.
When activated, the plugin will do the following:
- On Index page: will try to load the
index.jsfile - On Single post: will try to load the
single.jsfile - On Category: will try to load the
category-cat_slug.jsfile. If the file doesn’t exists it will try to load thecategory.jsfile. - On Page: will try to load the
page-page_slug.jsfile. If the file doesn’t exists it will try to load thepage.jsfile.
You can define which .js files should be loaded from the plugin settings page.

Check the plugin settings page if js file loading is enabled. By default js loading is disabled.
What happens if I activate Javascript loading from the plugin settins page and the .js file doesn’t exists ?
Nothing 🙂 The plugin will not try to load a Javascript file if it doesn’t exists.
I’ve setup the plugin to include javascript files in footer, but nothing happens
Check the footer.php file in your theme and make sure it calls the <?php wp_footer(); ?> function.
