 *     ```
       if ( !is_admin() ) { // instruction to only load if it is not the admin area
       something to load
       }
       ```
   
 * This doesn’t work on wp-login.php page. How do I exclude it too?

 * I’m sure there’s probably a better way, but the only way I’ve been able to do
   so is to check the request URI, like this:
 *     ```
       if( !is_admin() && !stristr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-login' ) ) {
       something to load
       }
       ```

 * Thanks 🙂
    I’m not sure if it’s going to work with some servers that use something
   like: a) localhost:8080 b) example.com/sub-dir/ c) abc.example.com/~x/ because
   I used $_SERVER variable a few times and it was often causing problems on untypical
   server configurations.
 * I’m going to experiment with some similar alternatives though if no one else 
   will come up with any better solution 🙂 Thanks again!
