# Plugin doesn't load??

 * Maybe I’m missing something but I couldn’t find any directive in your plugin 
   that tells it to load itself anywhere. I added the following function to html5shiv.
   php to do so:
 *     ```
       function rw_html5shiv_conditional_queue() {
       	global $wp_version;
       	wp_deregister_script('html5shiv'); // deregister
       	wp_deregister_script('html5shiv-printshiv'); // deregister
       	wp_register_script('html5shiv-printshiv', plugins_url('/js/html5shiv-printshiv.min.js', __FILE__), false, '3.7.2');
   
       	if ( $wp_version >= 4.2 ) {
       		//supposedly will be available in 4.2
       		global $wp_scripts;
       		$wp_scripts->add_data( 'html5shiv-printshiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
       		wp_enqueue_script('html5shiv-printshiv');
       	} else {
       		global $is_IE;
       	    if( $is_IE ) {
       			wp_enqueue_script('html5shiv-printshiv');
       		}
       	}
       }
       if( !is_admin() ){
       	add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'rw_html5shiv_conditional_queue', 99);
       }
       ```

 * What? I was stating the fact that your plugin simply doesn’t do anything as released.
   There is nothing anywhere that actually makes it load and do anything.

 * it enqueues a javascript which does the work

 * Englighten on how it gets queued up. Your plugin’s PHP contains this:
 *     ```
       function rw_html5shiv() {
   
       		// Original
       		wp_deregister_script('html5shiv'); // deregister
       		//wp_enqueue_script('html5shiv', plugins_url('/js/html5shiv.min.js', __FILE__), false, '3.7.2');
   
       		// With Printshiv
       		wp_deregister_script('html5shiv-printshiv'); // deregister
       		wp_enqueue_script('html5shiv-printshiv', plugins_url('/js/html5shiv-printshiv.min.js', __FILE__), false, '3.7.2');
       }
       ```
   
 * Yet nothing actually calls rw_html5shiv, so it never does anything.
