'/js/example.js', array(), '1.0.0', true ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_theme_name_scripts' );Instead of this Action, use ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’ for Admin pages and ‘login_enqueue_scripts’ for the login page.
This actions passes an argument
$hookthat is handy when for example to prevent the script from loading on certain pages;function wpdocs_enqueue_scripts( $hook ) { // Load only in add new post page if ( is_admin() && 'post-new.php' !== $hook ) { return; } // rest of your code here.. } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_enqueue_scripts' );Feedback
This is not true for the
wp_enqueue_scriptsaction, however, it does apply for theadmin_enqueue_scriptsaction. — By thelevicole —That is not true. You are thinking of the admin part. Check https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_scripts/, and https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_enqueue_scripts/ As you can see only the admin_ part has the $hook_suffix. — By Beda —
