I saw the excellent answer (link below) but would like to learn for myself how to look for action call of a specific plugin so i can stop it using the idea of EAMan Restricting a Plugin to Only Load its CSS and JS on Selected Pages?
I have used http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/datapress/ and its js/css is only needed on one page.
Same for other plugins. How do I go about finding out what function those plugins call so I can enabled it on only pages needed.
is_admin() is useful for the front end.
The load-$pagenow hook and a few others are useful on the backend. wp-admin/admin-header.php, for instance, contains:
do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', $hook_suffix);
do_action("admin_print_styles-$hook_suffix");
do_action('admin_print_styles');
do_action("admin_print_scripts-$hook_suffix");
do_action('admin_print_scripts');
do_action("admin_head-$hook_suffix");
do_action('admin_head');
Note the $hook_suffix variable, which you can var_dump() then and there to know what its value is when your plugin's page is being loaded.
