# Exclude from JavaScript Combination Doesn’t Work

 * Our site loads the following file in the footer and we want to exclude it from
   JavaScript Combination.
 * [https://static.zdassets.com/ekr/snippet.js](https://static.zdassets.com/ekr/snippet.js)(
   Zendesk chat widget)
 * However, the file is not listed in the drop-down list in the Siteground optimizer
   plugin. So we can not exclude it.
 * Is there a fix for this?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello there [@sam-wa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sam-wa/),
 * You can exclude external script from being combined using the filter we’ve designed
   for that purpose. Here’s an example of the code, you can add to your functions.
   php file:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'sgo_javascript_combine_excluded_external_paths', 'js_combine_exclude_external_script' );
       function js_combine_exclude_external_script( $exclude_list ) {
           $exclude_list[] = 'script-host.com';
   
           return $exclude_list;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you are having any difficulties, feel free to contact us again!
 * Kind regards,
    Stoyan
