 * Is there a way to specify which scripts should load on which page using the enqueue
   script function? I noticed that conditional tags like is_home() or is_page() 
   doesn’t get called when calling on the action hook ‘init’. I’m trying to avoid
   called the script manually, ex `echo "<script scr='myscript.js'></script>";` 
   Since it has a chance of breaking some plugins. Is it possible to use something
   like query vars to determine which page I’m on in order to use wp_enqueue_script()?
 * PS: I have $infooter = true on the wp_enqueue_script() arguments.
 * Thanks

 * Use the conditional immediately before the wp_enqueue call.

 * Conditionals such as `is_home()` and `is_page()` are not yet available when the`
   init` hook is fired.
 * Try hooking into `wp_head` instead.

 * Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried changing the add_action(‘init’) to wp_head
   but the scripts doesn’t seem to load at all. will wp_enqueue_script work outside
   the init action hook?

 * Have you tried the `wp_enqueue_scripts` hook?
