enqueue plugin js only when needed

Does deleting & regenerating the transient make any difference?

If not, you can to go back to version 1.0.1 from https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tabby-responsive-tabs/developers/ – it might be worth changing the version number in the tabby-responsive-tabs.php to 9999 so it doesn’t update in future.

Apart from the fix to enqueue the js only when needed, the only other changes were in the css.

@cubecolour:

Thanks for your quick reply.

Deleting & regenerating makes no difference. I guess the plugin only enqueues the js when the tabby shortcode is on the page. In my case the shortcode isn’t there anymore (has been do_shortcode’d before storing in the transient), but the js still needs enqueueing on that page for the tabs to appear.

I don’t think it is a good idea to go back to 1.0.1 and never update again…

I guess that not enqueueing the js when the shortcode is not on the page is a good idea in more than 99% of the cases. My case is just in that 1% category.

I’ll figure out a way to also enqueue the js on that particular page. I’ll have a look at your code and implement some sort of workaround.

Try adding the following to your child theme’s functions.php or custom functions plugin if you’re using one

function cc_tabby_js() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'tabby', plugins_url('/tabby-responsive-tabs/js/tabby.js'), array('jquery'), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'cc_tabby_js');

Thanks for your suggestion. I added it to my child theme and everything worked again. Then I tried modifying it so it only loaded on the one page where it is needed.

Furthermore I checked the source code of your plugin to see if I could come up with an even more generic solution.

In the process I suddenly found out that after deleting the transient & regenerating it it should all work, just as you suggested. And it did. I thought I had tried that before I reacted earlier, but shame on me I apparently did not.

So after all, I do not need to change anything. I just need to be careful when you come out with a new version of the plugin. In that case I need to regenerate the transient (which I already do once a day automatically).

So, everything is solved on my end. I’ll set this thread to resolved.

Thanks for looking into this. Really appreciate it.
I already gave a 5-star review. If I could I would do it again!
