# Plugins not loading initially

 * I’m using two plugins, Contact Form 7 and PixoPoint (drop down menus) with the
   Flexibility2 theme. I have inserted the code as instructed to integrate the plugins
   with the theme, and they work great except that they do not load when my website
   first appears in the browser window (IE or Firefox). Refreshing the page does
   NOT solve the problem, however, clicking on any of the choices in the navigation
   bar, including HOME, does fix it, and it fixes it permanently for that browser
   session, such that the contact form appears in the sidebar, and the navigation
   menu has the additional drop down functionality provided by PixoPoint. While 
   this is a mystery to me, I’m sure it must be an easy fix for someone who understands
   the php code and the way themes are loaded. Please help.

 * sounds like your browser is caching old pages
    clear your browser cache and site
   cookies and test

 * That didn’t help. Even tried another computer, one that had NEVER loaded my website
   before. Same behavior as previously described. It’s something else; obviously,
   the plugins aren’t loading until the nav is used, and when that happens, it runs
   the code in header.php and everything from that point forward in the browser 
   session is absolutely fine. It’s a sequencing issue with the theme and the code
   used to integrate the plugins. I suspect the code needs to appear somewhere else,
   as well, to activate the plugins when the theme first loads in the browser. But
   I don’t know where/how.

 * Hi,
    I’m the developer of the PixoPoint Menu plugin. If it’s not a caching problem,
   then it’s probably an issue of your theme not loading scripts or something like
   that correctly on the home page. It’s impossible to tell without seeing the page
   itself though.
 * If you would like me to help figure out the problem, please post the question
   in our support forum (I rarely check in here for posts) … [http://pixopoint.com/forum/](http://pixopoint.com/forum/)
