Please replace the ??? with your data!

URL to the FORM: http://wordpresstheming.com/20…..wordpress/
The browser used: Firefox
cforms version: 11.2
Your Wordpress version: 2.9

I noticed that cForms (along with several other plug-ins) was loading scripts on every single page of my site even though I only actually use the form in one place. The scripts took about 20k, which isn't a lot, but I thought it would help reduce bloat to only load it on the page that needed it.

For anyone else that's interested in doing something like this, the code goes like this (and please correct me if you see that it could be better done):

// Load cForms javascript only on contact page function deregister_cforms() { if (!is_page('contact')) { remove_action('wp_head','cforms_style'); } } add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'deregister_cforms');

I also wrote a post optimizing your plug-in scripts for WordPress.

then you haven't configured cforms properly

please note that when changing the core code you (a) quickly run the chance of breaking it and more importantly (b) if you do feel you need to change it, do it in accordance with the GPL requirements! (documenting your own code is a requirement)

however, better yet, configure cforms so it doesn't load the header on each page, it's two clicks. frown
