# PHP Notice: wp_enqueue_script called correctly?
* Resolved [stevemullen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevemullen/)

* [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-wp_enqueue_script-called-correctly-2/)
* I am investigating plugins on my site that are not [loading scripts and styles correctly](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_enqueue_scripts).
instagram-feed-pro is active on this site.
* My problem is that WP is generating a warning because code (plugins, themes…)
are not loading scripts and styles correctly, but the warning is not indicating
the offending code:
`[12-Apr-2019 12:57:45 UTC] PHP Notice: wp_register_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 3.3.0.) in /home/redacted/public_html/
wp-includes/functions.php on line 4667`
* This plugin appears to call wp_enqueue_script directly in a handful of files.
This is not supported and generates PHP warnings. These are the instances I found:
* instagram-feed-pro/sbi-init.php
ln 21 – wp_enqueue_script is called directly.
ln 25 – wp_enqueue_style is called directly.
* Thank you

* Hey stevemullen,
* Sorry for any confusion! Our plugin works by registering our scripts using the
wp_enqueue_script hook as suggested. The plugin only ends up enqueuing the script
on pages where the feed is used. That’s what you’re seeing on lines 21 and 25.
* I think this is an accepted way of doing this. I don’t get the same errors and
we haven’t had anyone else report this issue. In fact, it looks like the error
you pasted refers to wp_register_script specifically.
* Can you try deactivating other plugins to see if it fixes the issue? Does deactivating
Instagram Feed fix this?
