WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters.NotInFooter

Not In Footer

A script or stylesheet is loaded without the expected WordPress enqueue metadata.

medium weight

Why It Shows Up

The scan found missing versions, missing footer placement, or scripts/styles printed directly instead of being enqueued.

Why It Matters

Proper enqueueing lets WordPress manage dependencies, versions, placement, caching, and compatibility with other plugins.

How to Fix

  • Register or enqueue assets with handles, dependencies, versions, and placement arguments.
  • Use a file modification time or plugin version for local asset versions when appropriate.
  • Avoid printing script or stylesheet tags directly in templates.
