Hello, i have pretty simple page so i dont have issues to move all JS to footer.
The problem is, that whatever code i add to the functions.php its not working.

I have tried several codes like:

Solution1:
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_print_scripts’);
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_print_head_scripts’, 9);
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, 1);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_print_scripts’, 5);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, 5);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_print_head_scripts’, 5);

Solution2:
if(!is_admin()) {
// Move all JS from header to footer
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_print_scripts’);
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_print_head_scripts’, 9);
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, 1);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_print_scripts’, 5);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, 5);
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_print_head_scripts’, 5);
}

and several similar one, but nothing is working…could someone review my functions.php file?

thanks
Peter

Hello, i tried this plugin and its not conpatible with WP Rocket which i use.
I tried the guide of that plugin, to make it works together, however it completely mess the site.
I would prefer the option with the functions.php.
Thx

Hi There,

Please try with this code instead:

add_action( 'init', 'move_scripts_to_footer' );
function move_scripts_to_footer(){
	if(!is_admin()) {
		
		// Move all JS from header to footer
		remove_action("wp_head", "wp_print_scripts");
		remove_action("wp_head", "wp_print_head_scripts", 9);
		remove_action("wp_head", "wp_enqueue_scripts", 1);

		add_action("wp_footer", "wp_print_scripts", 5);
		add_action("wp_footer", "wp_enqueue_scripts", 5);
		add_action("wp_footer", "wp_print_head_scripts", 5);
	}
}

Hope it helps 🙂

Hello, thanks for the code provided and your time.
I put it to the folder /web/wp-content/themes/x/functions.php and its not wroking.

Hi again,

Please don’t add the code in your parent theme, add it in your Child Theme. If you don’t have the Child Theme yet then I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Let us know how this goes!

Yes, thanks for the advice, i will definitelly do the child theme setup after i will find a code which is working.

Hello,
well, the codes for moving the js to the footer provided by you are not working. 🙂
Was hoping that i will get the solution here 🙂
The codes are pretty much the same as i find on internet.
So i guess its a standart code widely used across the wp world, so i am wondering why its not working for me.

Hi Peter,

I can see you have wp rocket plugin installed.

Can you try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.
