It can be hard to make a profit and provide top notch equipment and support. Hopefully, they can keep your site running well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/datepickerjs-loading-when-using-date-field#post-66907 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:24:08 +0000 Chris Hajer 66907@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you want to unload an unused script in WordPress, you can use the wp_dequeue_script function:<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_script" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_script</a></p> <p>It might look something like this:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php wp_dequeue_script( &#39;gforms_datepicker&#39; ); wp_dequeue_script( &#39;gforms_ui_datepicker&#39; ); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>You would have to consider when to remove that conditionally (maybe load only on forms you know use the datepicker) and might have to hook it to an action. But that function can be used to remove unwanted scripts which are loaded by plugins. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/datepickerjs-loading-when-using-date-field#post-66897 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:06:18 +0000 petros 66897@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Was angry for sluggish behavior after meddling with gravity forms but it looks like it is my hosting service's fault (bluehost), goes on and off all evening.

It is coming in an upcoming release though.

I passed the info along to see about only loading the date picker JS files when the date picker type is selected for the date field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/datepickerjs-loading-when-using-date-field#post-54225 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:34:36 +0000 wedideas 54225@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Howdy,</p> <p>After being unable to use the datepicker (I believe their is a js conflict on my page somewhere although only one copy of jquery is being loaded) I decided to switch to a normal date field as it would still fulfill the same function.</p> <p>I have noticed though that the datepicker.js scripts are still being loaded on my page. Why is this?</p> <p>the jQuery UI version is 70k alone and if it's not being used why is it still being loaded?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>James </p>
