Incompatible Plugins Better WordPress Minify Better WordPress Minify version 1.2.2 does not yet support

protocol-relative URLs, but the next release is supposed to correct

this.

Gravity Forms I’ve had reports of Gravity Forms breaking UGL, but I don’t have

access to Gravity Forms, so I’m not sure what’s going on. If you need

Gravity Forms you might need to disable UGL, or it might be fine, I’m

not really sure.

WP-Minify WP-Minify doesn’t yet support protocol-relative URLs. Add

‘//ajax.googleapis.com/’ as a JS and CSS exclusion.

Incompatible Themes K2 I’ve had scattered reports that UGL is stepping out of the way when

using K2.

A Request If you’re going to flag the plugin as “broken” in the WordPress Plugin

Directory, please try and let me know what is

broken.

I’m not a mind reader.

Technical Details Use Google Libraries uses the following hooks (each with a priority of 1000).

wp_default_scripts Use Google Libraries compares it’s list of supported scripts to those

registered, and replaces the standard registrations src with ones that

point to Google’s servers. Other attributes (like dependencies) are left

intact.

script_loader_src Use Google Libraries removes the ver=x.y.z query string from the URL

used to load the requested library if it is going to load the library from

ajax.googleapis.com. Otherwise the URL is left unaltered. This both

improves the chances of the given URL already being cached, and prevents

script.aculo.us from including scripts multiple times.

If jQuery is enqued Use Google Libraries will inject a bit of

javascript before the next enqueued script enabling jQuery’s noConflict mode as it would

with the standard WordPress version.

References Parts of this plugin (specificly, the dropping of the micro number,

which has since been removed for better caching performance) were

inspired by John Blackbourn’s

Google AJAX Libraries,

which has very similar goals to this plugin.

Future Plans

add ability to disable protocol relative URLs

add ability to disable on frontend and/or admin
