This can only be used when
$postis available. ‘wp’ is the earliest action you can hook into to get access to it.The following code is an adjustment of the first example, but able to also search all posts on the index page.
/** * Detect shortcodes in the global $post. */ function wpdocs_detect_shortcode() { global $wp_query; $posts = $wp_query->posts; $pattern = get_shortcode_regex(); foreach ( $posts as $post ) { if ( preg_match_all( '/'. $pattern .'/s', $post->post_content, $matches ) && array_key_exists( 2, $matches ) && in_array( 'videoannotation', $matches[2] ) ) { // enque my css and js break; } } } add_action( 'wp', 'wpdocs_detect_shortcode' );Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
