Can't disable css files.

[hugh71158]

Hi,

I have created a custom css stylesheet, and entering the URL in a browser shows me it is working ok. However, I can't get the files it is supposed to replace to stop loading. Can anyone see where I am going amiss? The code I am using in the functions.php file in my Dynamik theme is:

// Disable CSS Site-Wide Using CSS Script Handle

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 );

function my_deregister_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet' );
wp_deregister_style( 'font-awesome' );
wp_deregister_style( 'fl-builder-layout-6' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gd-full-width' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_reset_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_formsmain_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_ready_class_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_browsers_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_datepicker_css' );
}

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hugh

Try replacing 'wp_print_styles' with 'wp_enqueue_scripts'

wp_print_styles is a depreciated hook https://make.wordpress.org/core/2011/12/12/use-wp_enqueue_scripts-not-wp_print_styles-to-enqueue-scripts-and-styles-for-the-frontend/

Hi, thanks for the reply. I changed it to the code below - still the css files are all loading. 🙁

Hugh

// Disable CSS Site-Wide Using CSS Script Handle

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 );

function my_deregister_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet' );
wp_deregister_style( 'font-awesome' );
wp_deregister_style( 'fl-builder-layout-6' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gd-full-width' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_reset_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_formsmain_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_ready_class_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_browsers_css' );
wp_deregister_style( 'gforms_datepicker_css' );
}

Sorry, moving too fast, also try changing wp_deregister_style to wp_dequeue_style

[hugh71158]

Yeah, it steadfastly refuses to work. Sorry for being a pain. I appreciate the effort. I tried:

// Disable CSS Site-Wide Using CSS Script Handle

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_dequeue_styles', 100 );

function my_deregister_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'font-awesome' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'fl-builder-layout-6' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gd-full-width' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_reset_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_formsmain_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_ready_class_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_browsers_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_datepicker_css' );
}

In this latest version you're adding a function called my_dequeue_styles but the function is named my_deregister_styles

make sure those match 🙂

[hugh71158]

Ah!! I think I have it now, but still all the stylesheets are loading. ???

// Disable CSS Site-Wide Using CSS Script Handle

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_dequeue_styles', 100 );

function my_dequeue_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'font-awesome' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'fl-builder-layout-6' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gd-full-width' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_reset_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_formsmain_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_ready_class_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_browsers_css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'gforms_datepicker_css' );
}

Try both wp_dequeue and wp_dergeister with a priority on your action of very high, say 99999

so something like:

// Disable CSS Site-Wide Using CSS Script Handle

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_dequeue_styles', 99999);
function my_dequeue_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet');
wp_deregister_style( 'dynamik_minified_stylesheet');
}

For brevity I just listed a single example of dequeue and deregister in the function, you'd add all of them in it so each script is dequeued and deregistered.

Oh yes, make sure there's no caching occuring, you may have a server cache that needs flushing as well, not sure

Thanks, I'll try that.

I was getting nowhere with this, and I had been stuck on a Pagespeed score of 71/100, but installing a plugin called Autoptomize solved the issue for me. I managed to get to 100/100.

So, it's now a question of which way to head with this.

Thanks!!!
