Title: [Plugin: Basic Comment Quicktags] Change Quicktags JavaScript File URL Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Basic Comment Quicktags] Change Quicktags JavaScript File URL * Resolved [Aahan Krish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aahan/) * (@aahan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/) * I am serving all my static content from a different domain, and am facing one small problem with the plugin (NOT a bug, just my problem). * The quicktags JS file (`http://example.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js`) is being served from the same domain as my website. How can I have it served from a different domain, say, `example2.com`? * I tried deregistering, then changing the src of the file, and enqueuing `quicktags`, but that seems to be messing with the plugin. * It would be great if someone can provide me the function that allows me to properly change the URL of the quicktags core JS file. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/basic-comment-quicktags/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/basic-comment-quicktags/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2853914) * Huh. Well, the catch there is that most (well written) plugins are relatively looking for your wp-content folder. In this case, I used plugin_dir_url: * `wp_enqueue_script("bcq_quicktags", plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . "quicktags.js", array("quicktags","jquery"), "1.8", 1);` * It should be rendering as `http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/basic-comment- quicktags/quicktags.js` by the way… * So is the issue that your wp-content is in another location? How are you telling WP right now where to go for Static Content? If you’d used a define in your wp- config, that should have been picked up. * Thread Starter [Aahan Krish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aahan/) * (@aahan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2853990) * Hello Mika, * I am talking about **`wp-includes`** and NOT `wp-content` directory. And since you asked, I’ve set a different domain for the `wp-content` directory [by adding this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Moving_wp-content) in my wp-config.php: * `define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://static-content.com/wp-content');` * But that doesn’t change the URLs of JavaScript files loaded from **`wp-includes`** to the new domain. And as there’s no such thing as `WP_INCLUDES_URL`, I have to manually un/de-register each handle and have it enqueued with the static domain( from the e.g. static-content.com). * The handle for `http://example.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js` which the [Basic Comment Quicktags](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/basic-comment-quicktags/) plugin uses (as a dependency) is [**`quicktags`**](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script#Notes), and trying to un/de-register the handle and enqueuing it with the static domain somehow breaks the plugin’s CDATA JS output in the footer. * What I am asking is, what is the proper way to have this file — `http://example. com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js` — served from the domain that serves static files, i.e. like this — `http://static-domain.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js` * I would be very helpful if you can give me the proper function/code to un-register and enqueue the handle (quicktags), as my method seems to break the plugin. * Hope I am clear enough this time. 🙂 * Plugin Author [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2853994) * Yeah, that’s this part `array("quicktags","jquery")` * That’s WP’s own code, and … you’d have to move it. You’d have to deregister quicktags itself and register your own for that. * Thread Starter [Aahan Krish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aahan/) * (@aahan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2853995) * Yes, that’s what I am asking. How do I do that? Something’s wrong with the way I am doing it. This is what I’ve tried (and some variants of it as well, actually): * ``` add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','aahan_register_script'); function aahan_register_script(){ wp_deregister_script('quicktags'); wp_register_script('quicktags', 'http://static-domain.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js', false, false); wp_enqueue_script( 'quicktags' ); } ``` * Is something wrong with the way I am doing it? * Thread Starter [Aahan Krish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aahan/) * (@aahan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2853998) * OR it would be great if you can tell me how to replace this function (from your plugin) with some code in my function.php (sorry, I am not that good with PHP, but I am just into learning it): * ``` function ippy_bcq_add_scripts() { $options = get_option('ippy_bcq_options'); $valuebb = $options['bbpress']; $valueco = $options['comments']; $ippy_bcq_bbp_fancy = get_option( '_bbp_use_wp_editor' ); if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) { if ( is_bbpress() && ( $valuebb != '0') && !is_null($valuebb) && ($ippy_bcq_bbp_fancy == '0') ) { wp_enqueue_script("bcq_quicktags", plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . "quicktags.js", array("quicktags","jquery"), "1.8", 1); wp_enqueue_style("bcq_quicktags", plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) .

The intent of the WP_CONTENT_URL changability is to move your content from /home/aahan/public_html/ wp-content/ to /home/aahan/wp-content/ (i.e. outside of ‘root’) which makes things unlinkable and more secure (arguably). I’m not entirely sure totally changing the domain was the intent. * Thread Starter [Aahan Krish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aahan/) * (@aahan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-basic-comment-quicktags-change-quicktags-javascript-file-url/#post-2854077) * 🙁 Sad, but kinda makes sense.
