How to tell plugin not to load on every page of the site

I’d rather not use another plugin to fix this issue

Can you point to a plugin in the WordPress Repo that does such a thing?
How are you managing this with other installed plugins on your site?

You might try and set up something like this and deregister the following scripts:

wp_deregister_script( 'collapseomatic-js' );
wp_deregister_style('collapseomatic-css');

The function “has_shortcode” is very useful for this. Here is my script to only load it on posts that use the [expand] shortcode:

function disable_sitewide_expand() {
	global $post;
	if( !has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'expand') ) {
		wp_deregister_script( 'collapseomatic-js' );
		wp_deregister_style('collapseomatic-css');
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'disable_sitewide_expand', 100 );

Version 1.5.7a addressed this issue. Feel free to grab it direct from the Plugin Oven here: https://plugins.twinpictures.de/plugins/collapse-o-matic/

To answer your previous question
This plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/plugin-organizer/ does that job.

Thank you! Version 1.5.7b is out at the Plugin Oven: https://plugins.twinpictures.de/plugins/collapse-o-matic/

Brave space monkeys are invited to install. Scaredy cats will have to wait a bit before it’s pushed to the WordPress Repo for.

Issue: Resolved.
