Activate Script on Archive Page of Custom Post Type

Ben,

This is actually outlined on the main page – the plugin comes with a filter to allow you to add custom post type support. Below is an example of a post type named ‘project’:

function stf_add_cpt_support( $post_types ) {
    $post_types[] = 'project';

    return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'scripts_to_footer_post_types', 'stf_add_cpt_support' );

Hope that helps!
Joshua

Hey Joshua

Thanks for your quick reply. I certainly did add this function, but on the CPT archive page the scripts are loaded in the header. On the CPT single page they are correctly loaded in the footer. Any idea?

Cheers, Ben

Ben,

Got it! I’ll try replicating this issue over the weekend and see if I can figure out a solution.

Thanks,
Joshua

Hi Joshua

Did you figure out something meanwhile?

Thanks, Ben

Ben,

Apologies! I haven’t had a chance to put this up in my dev environment to replicate the issue. I’ll work on that this evening and see if I can diagnose/solve it. Thanks for your patience, sorry I wasn’t able to get to it sooner.

Is there anything particaular about this custom post type archive? Is it an actual archive (archive-cpt.php) or a page template that displays custom post types?

Thanks,
Joshua

Joshua,

never mind. I appreciate your effort.

It is a regular custom CPT archive (archive-cpt.php)

Cheers, Ben

Ben,

Sorry I couldn’t be of help soon enough. As it is right now it should always work with any custom post type. One bug is that the option to turn it off (the metabox) only appears if you use the filter I mentioned above, but otherwise the script runs on all post types. I’ll be push through an update in the next week that will include better support for custom post types: to be turned off by default for custom post types unless the filter is used.

I haven’t been able to replicate the issue you mentioned, but hopefully I can incorporate whatever fix is necessary.

Thanks,
Joshua

Ben,

Just a heads up, I’ve been working on the next version and figured out the issue on the CPT archvies (as well as blog archive, home page, etc) – it’s related to the way STF gets the page id, which there is not a page id for custom post types.

I’ve got a somewhat stable version in development, if you have a chance to test it (not on a production site), I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m hoping to finish testing and refining this release in the next week.

Cheers,
Joshua

I’ve released this new version that includes an option to keep jquery in the header (Settings > Scripts to Footer), as well as options for archives – you can now exclude the plugin from specific archive types (category, author, blog, etc). If you need further help, please open a new issue. I’m closing this one.

Dear Jasohua
Awesome! Thank you very much for your help.
I highly appreciate.
Cheers, ben
