Detecting Lightboxed Pages in WordPress Admin : alexking.org

When you want inject something into the WordPress admin, you might not think to account for pages that load inside lightboxes (plugin updates, media upload, etc.). Generally, you don’t want to add your JS/CSS/etc. to these pages.

To check for this type of page load, you can check for the IFRAME_REQUEST constant.

	<?php

	/*
	Plugin Name: Standard WP Admin Page Check
	Description: Example code.
	Version: 1.0
	Author: Alex King
	Author URI: http://alexking.org
	*/

	function ak_wp_admin_standard_page_test() {

	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	alert('This is a standard WP admin page.');
	</script>
	<?php

	}
	if ( !defined( 'IFRAME_REQUEST' ) ) {
	add_action( 'admin_head', 'ak_wp_admin_standard_page_test' );
	}

	?>
