“WP-Includes” needed for each excluded script?

wp-includes/js/dist/ is where all the WordPress blocks (Gutenberg) JS lives

wp-includes/js/tinymce/ is where the “old” HTML editor lives which is sometimes used on the frontend (e.g. in specific comments/ forum setups)

these are default exclusions as experience shows issues _can_ arise if blocks/ tinymce are used on the frontend .

js/jquery/jquery.js (or more recently js/jquery/jquery.min.js is jQuery itself, quite a number of themes/ plugins expect jQuery to be available early, hence it’s presence in the exclusion list.

but feel free to change the list as you see fit ??

hope this clarifies,

Hi Frank, thanks for your reply. My question is why isn’t the last one:

wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

it could be, but it does not really matter as both match full path, yours is a full match, the one used in the default exclusions a partial one, but in both cases jquery is exluded ??

I’m sorry to ask but how does /js/jquery/jquery.js match the full path when it’s within the wp-includes folder?

Cheers

because the string /js/jquery/jquery.js is part of of the string wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js ??
