Title: Does deactivating plugins per page functional? Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Does deactivating plugins per page functional? * Resolved [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/) * Hi, * I have a plugin called Visual composer. If it’s active, then super carousel on the homepage on my website doesn’t work well. That’s why I was hoping this plugin would help me to deactivate visual composer for homepage only but it doesn’t seem like working because the page is still corrupt. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580059) * It will work to do that but the homepage can be tricky for some people. I’m guessing you have a page post type set as your page. Try creating a plugin filter with your homepage url as the permalink and disable it that way. * Thread Starter [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580061) * Is there a shortcode for that that I can use? I can check is_page(ID) but then how do I deactivate a plugin though for that page? * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580066) * No. On the page edit screen there is a meta box for plugin organizer. You just turn the plugin off. The plugin filters are under Plugin Organizer in the admin menu. Create a new filter and enter your homepage url in the permalink field. Then go down to the plugin organizer meta box and switch that plugin to off. * Thread Starter [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580069) * I did. It didn’t fix the problem either… * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580072) * Do you see this message at the top of the plugin organizer meta box? * “You currently have Selective Plugin Loading disabled.

Or recommend any other plugin or shortcode. All I need to disable 1 plugin for homepage. * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580107) * I can take a look at it if you want to give me admin access. * Thread Starter [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580157) * can I have your email so I can email it to you? * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580159) * My email is foomagoo at gmail dot com. * Thread Starter [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580161) * Thank you. * Plugin Author [Jeff Sterup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) * (@foomagoo) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580170) * Ok so what is the problem with your home page? I’m not seeing anything broken. I can also see that visual composer is disabled. * Thread Starter [Extelliqent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extelliqent/) * (@extelliqent) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-deactivating-plugins-per-page-functional/#post-5580171) * Thank you very much for checking if it’s working. I am really confused today. At some point before slider on homepage would work properly if I disabled the visual composer. Now sometimes works sometimes doesn’t When it doesn’t work properly, first couple seconds while page is loading I see half of one of the image half of another.. Thank you for your helpfulness Jeff!
