Title: wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly Last modified: December 8, 2021 --- # wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly * [ArtGoddess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artgoddess/) * (@artgoddess) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/) * Hello, * With debug mode activated, I can see this PHP warning in `/wp-admin/widgets.php`: * `Notice: wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly. "wp-editor" script should not be enqueued together with the new widgets editor (wp-edit-widgets or wp-customize- widgets). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.8.0.) in /home/user/domain.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5663` * No plugins activated. * PHP 8 WordPress 5.8.2 Twenty Twenty-One 1.4 * What am I doing wrong?

Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem. * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/). On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. * Thread Starter [ArtGoddess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artgoddess/) * (@artgoddess) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15146334) * It is not a matter of plugins. * I am viewing this message in the backend with DEBUG enabled. * I don’t have any plugins activated at all. * Please, let me know if this bug is reported on a ticket. * Many thanks. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15148649) * Ah yes, here you go: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53569](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53569) * Thread Starter [ArtGoddess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artgoddess/) * (@artgoddess) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15148702) * Nice! * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) I’m not used to trac. wordpress.org, so sorry for asking. Has this been solved in 5.8.2 or hasn’t been fixed yet? I can see the ticket is closed. * Many thanks for your guidance. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15148764) * Allegedly this was fixed in 5.8.2. * There is a reply there that leads me to believe someone has not found it as such though. * I recommend replying in a comment there so the developers are aware of your experience as well. * Thread Starter [ArtGoddess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artgoddess/) * (@artgoddess) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15148778) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) done. I hope this helps. ☺️ * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15148788) * Thanks! * The developers will reply there if they need any further info. * Thread Starter [ArtGoddess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artgoddess/) * (@artgoddess) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly-19/#post-15187119) * Hi [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) nobody has reacted to the ticket: * [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53569](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53569) * The issue is still happening and I suspect that this is a behaviour that arises from WordPress itself, no matter which plugins or themes we are using. * What is more, maybe I’m bothering some plugin authors without the need: * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twentig-widgets-wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twentig-widgets-wp_enqueue_script-was-called-incorrectly/) * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dmca-badge-and-widgets/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dmca-badge-and-widgets/) * I kindly ask you how to report this correctly, as nobody seems to bother about this warning. * Please, do let me know.
