Insertion order of global vs page-specific head data

    Hi Erik,

    I found a quirk that I can’t seem to resolve here.

    I have your plugin installed and I’m using both the global option under Settings to inject a KISSMetrics setup code and the per-page option to add specific events to pages.

    Unfortunately, the order of the script insertion is backwards of what I need it to be. It’s coming out like this:

    <head>
   <page-specific-script>
   <global-script>
</head>

    I need it the other way around:

    <head>
   <global-script>
   <page-specific-script>
</head>

    Because the variables I’m using in the page-specific script are defined in the global script.

    How can I fix that? Or can you add a config option to explicitly order global/page?

    Hi Daverod,

    I haven’t really thought much about the order it should appear. It is more logical to have the page-specific script at the bottom, both for JS and for CSS. And it’s really easy for me to change this order. Making a config option is more work, however, and will cause an extra database query per page load (I don’t like the high amount of database queries most plugins cause), so I won’t do that for now. I will push an update today that fixes the order.

    Thanks for asking this question.

    Thanks for fixing it so fast. ?? The config option was a suggestion in case the order was intentional, which it sounds like it’s not.
