Title: Snippet not loading Last modified: November 26, 2020 --- # Snippet not loading * Resolved [Artan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artankrasniqi1988/) * (@artankrasniqi1988) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippet-not-loading/) * Hi there, * I don´t know why, but my snippet is not working. When I insert it directly as HTML in the site, no problem. But through the plugin it won´t work. “Run snippet everywhere” is activated. And it´s also activated. It is shown in my console in in front end. But why does it not trigger/work with plugin but without it when I insert it directly in my head template as HTML in a div / site builder? This is the snippet like it is inserted in the plugin: * ``` ` section, then that indicates it’s an issue with the JavaScript code as opposed to this plugin. * I have a feeling that it’s probably running before the page has had a chance to load properly. I’d recommend changing that `wp_head` action to `wp_footer`, or using a `window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {})` wrapper. * Thread Starter [Artan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artankrasniqi1988/) * (@artankrasniqi1988) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippet-not-loading/#post-13737032) * Hi Shea, * changing to `wp_footer` did the thing. * Is there any difference in performance when not loaded in header? Or is there no difference. What is recommended? I use this for showing a mega menu when hovering over a menu button. * Thank u very much for your support! * Plugin Author [Shea Bunge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bungeshea/) * (@bungeshea) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippet-not-loading/#post-13739871) * I believe that generally it’s best practice to load scripts in the footer area when it’s feasible to do so, as then they won’t block other parts of the page from loading. Especially seeing as this snippet does nothing on load and only responds to user interaction. * Thread Starter [Artan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artankrasniqi1988/) * (@artankrasniqi1988) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippet-not-loading/#post-13759264) * Well, thanks for the advice and the support!
