perhaps because BP devs consider it is not necessary ? 😉
If you think it is dummy practice or better to get anything to footer by default, open a ticket and provide some patches. Maybe you can than discuss directly with a dev around the pro and contra for footer scripts.
The problem with loading scripts in the footer by default is dependency. Take jQuery for example, if WordPress were to load jQuery in the footer by default and a WordPress theme developer then loaded some jQuery-dependent code in the header or body then that jQuery-dependent code wouldn’t work. It’s these considerations the BuddyPress core developers have to make.
Thanks,
anyone know where i can have the handles of the bp scripts ?
with that i can dequeu them and enqueu again to put them in the footer
@Henrywright :
For jquery is loaded by default in the footer but if it detect a script in wp_head() he print it in the head that way there is never a bug.
bp put his script to the head or it’s not define at all where to put them, so wp prin at first jquery then the bp scripts
