How to prevent loading of addthis_widget.js on all pages except single posts

  • In admin, everything is turned off except sharing sidebar on single posts. However, addthis_widget.js is still loaded on all pages, archives etc. slowing the pages really bad. Sometimes it goes over 10s, and on pages it shouldn’t even be on:

    See?

    Is there a way to prevent it from loading except on single posts, or, even better, to prevent it from loading alltogether and manually (in php) get it to load on single posts?

    Hi marusic.

    Thanks for letting us know about your issue. Unfortunately, the functionality you’re asking for isn’t available in this plugin.

    Hi marusic,

    I checked the variable $wp_scripts, and it looks like the handle for addthis_widget.js is addthis_widget. If you enqueue the scripts, you can deregister the script like below.

    add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', function() {
	wp_dequeue_script( 'addthis_widget' );
}, 100 );

    Hope that helps.
