Pro 0.9.16: wp_enqueue_style "fv-player-pro" missing dependency "fv_flowplayer"

Hi.

WP asset dependency system is primarily meant for determining the order of which the asset should be loaded in.

In FV Player Pro, wp_enqueue_style() is used as a conditional loading mechanism, and the well known developer help plugin Query Monitor correctly highlights this as a red error.

wp_enqueue_style( ‘fv-player-pro’, plugins_url( ‘//cdn.foliovision.com/css/style.css’, __FILE__ ), array(‘fv_flowplayer’), $this->version );

Your core player plugin actually goes through a list of condition checks before it enqueues fv_flowplayer, most importantly “does this page even have a matching shortcode/video”. Pro plugin does not have similar checks and just tries to load fv-player-pro stylesheet on every request, which developer help tools flag as an error.

As a developer, I’d like to keep the dependency error check in place to catch other errors, and not disable it just because we’re using FV Player.

Fixing this is fortunately simple:

* move your Pro player enqueue to priority 11, so core plugin can have its own stylesheet enqueued

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, array( $this, ‘styles’ ), 11 );

* Pro player styles() function can use wp_style_is() to check loading conditions

…
} else {
if ( wp_style_is( ‘fv_flowplayer’ ) ) {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘fv-player-pro’, plugins_url( ‘//cdn.foliovision.com/css/style.css’, __FILE__ ), array(‘fv_flowplayer’), $this->version );
}
}
…

This correctly loads fv-player-pro stylesheet wherever fv_flowplayer is loaded, and avoids trying otherwise.

Thanks, bye
