Title: Many errors: PHP Notices & Incorrectly Enqueued Scripts.Please debug. Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Many errors: PHP Notices & Incorrectly Enqueued Scripts.Please debug. * [redsand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redsand/) * (@redsand) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-errors-php-notices-incorrectly-enqueued-scriptsplease-debug/) * As some people have reported in previous support threads, there are some errors in the plugin that need to be fixed. * All WordPress plugin developers should use WP_DEBUG to prevent easily fixable errors before releasing them to the WordPress plugin directory. [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress) * We run WP_DEBUG with logging on all of our test sites, and in two minutes this plugin filled up our debug.log with many copies of the following errors as soon as we activated it: * ``` PHP Notice: Undefined variable: acc_lst in /XXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/xhanch-my-twitter/xhanch-my-twitter.php on line 149 PHP Notice: wpdb::escape is deprecated since version 3.6! Use wpdb::prepare() or esc_sql() instead. in /XXXXXXXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3391 PHP Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or login_enqueue_scripts hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in /XXXXXXXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560 PHP Notice: get_bloginfo was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.2! The siteurl option is deprecated for the family of bloginfo() functions. Use the url option instead. in /XXXXXXXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3508 PHP Notice: Undefined index: sql_crt in /XXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/xhanch-my-twitter/admin/setting.php on line 668 ``` * Please see the WordPress standards for enqueueing scripts and styles. * wp_enqueue_script() – [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) wp_enqueue_style() – [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style) * If you see from the examples the relevant commands are inside functions, and are enqueued by using add_action() to hook the function that enqueues your scripts/ styles at the right time in the loading process. See this for a rundown of the order of action hooks in a WordPress page load: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference) * This explains how to properly add the action for your enqueueing function(s) to the hook ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_enqueue_scripts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_enqueue_scripts) * Since your scripts are only used in the admin, you should use ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts) * Also, you’ll want to see the section “Example: Target a Specific Admin Page” and make sure it’s only added to your plugin’s settings page. * I would also recommend Googling how to properly enqueue scripts and styles as there are some good tutorials out there. * Additionally, these are some annoying features I could do with out: - Besides having a lot of errors, the plugin creates its own menu. That is completely unnecessary. Unless you have an extremely essential plugin with many submenus, having your own menu is just being a bit rude and clutters up the Admin UI. - The settings page has a banner ad right at the top. Is that really necessary? Seems like there could be a less spammy way to handle that. - Upon deactivation and deleting the plugin through the WordPress Dashboard, the plugin does not clean up after itself on uninstall. There is still an ‘ xhc-xmt’ directory within the ‘wp-content’ directory, and three new tables in the database that were added but not deleted. Things like this should be cleaned up so as not to clutter the file structure or bloat the database. Little remnants like this add up over time and affect a site’s performance. * I’ll be honest..after that, we didn’t even want to check if the plugin actually did what it claimed to do. (Which is unfortunate, because it looked promising.) When I see a plugin that starts firing off so many errors, I’m pretty much done at that point. In 2 minutes the plugin had generated 35kb of errors in the `debug. log`. Do the math…that is going to add up quickly and can amount_ to over 20MB of errors per day._ * Lately we’ve been finding more and more plugins from developers that don’t seem to be even making an attempt to properly debug their plugins or read up on WordPress coding standards. WP_DEBUG…WP_DEBUG. Please!! * People have posted many support threads going back over a year, and the same errors are in still in the code, uncorrected even after your update this month. * Please fix the errors in this plugin. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/xhanch-my-twitter/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xhanch-my-twitter/) Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Plugin Author [xhanch_studio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xhanch_studio/) * (@xhanch_studio) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-errors-php-notices-incorrectly-enqueued-scriptsplease-debug/#post-6366391) * Resolved as of Xhanch – My Twitter 2.7.9 * Thread Starter [redsand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redsand/) * (@redsand) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-errors-php-notices-incorrectly-enqueued-scriptsplease-debug/#post-6366439) * FALSE. Not all of these were fixed in 2.7.9. Additionally, your settings page ads “phone home” in violation of the WordPress plugin developer guidelines – they call ads.xhanch.com.
