wp_localize_script

  • Hi!

    I’m trying to get a like script running on my blog.

    This is a part of the code, which I placed in my functions.php:

    wp_localize_script('like_post', 'ajax_var', array(
	'url' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),
	'nonce' => wp_create_nonce('ajax-nonce')
));

    But when I run it in debug mode, the following error appears:

    wp_localize_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks.

    I’ve did many searches, but could only find solutions about “wp_enqueue_script”, but unfortunately not about “wp_localize_script”.

    So is there something I’m doing wrong what makes the error appears?

    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps
    1. you dont call localize script after enqueue
    2. check from exactly where it has been called, perhaps try to put it in a init hook.

    kind regards
    ce

    wp_localize_script, just like wp_enqueue_script and wp_register_script, should be called from within a hook.

    Usually you register you scripts on the ‘init’ hook, and enqueue them on the ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’ hook.

    Assuming ‘like_post’ is an already registered script, here is a working localization example:

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_theme_scripts');
function enqueue_theme_scripts()
{
	$params['url'] = admin_url('admin-ajax.php');
 	$params['nonce'] = wp_create_nonce('ajax-nonce');

	wp_enqueue_script('like_post');

	wp_localize_script('like_post', 'ajax_var', $params);
}

    Hope this helps.
