Title: Adding javascript from plugin only on plugin page Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Adding javascript from plugin only on plugin page * Resolved [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-javascript-from-plugin-only-on-plugin-page/) * Hi, * I have been trying to add a few javascript files to my plugin. One’s that will only fire when on my plugin settings page. * Here is what I have so far: * ``` function my_plugin_admin_init() { // what your plugin needs in its wp_register_script( 'jwl_sliding_script', plugins_url('js/jwl_admin_sliding.js', __FILE__) ); } add_action( 'admin_init', 'my_plugin_admin_init' ); function my_plugin_admin_styles() { wp_enqueue_script( 'jwl_sliding_script' ); } add_action('admin_print_styles-ultimate-tinymce', 'my_plugin_admin_styles'); ``` * But I think I have something wrong, as the script is not doing what it’s supposed to do. * Am I on the right track here?

That worked perfectly. * I was under the assumption you could use the `admin_print_styles` in the following manner; with `ultimate-tinymce` being the admin settings page. * `admin_print_styles-ultimate-tinymce` * I don’t fully understand how assigning it to a variable makes it work… but I’m certainly not going to argue 🙂 * If you see this, and have time, would you mind taking a look at this thread also?
