To dequeue a style, it has to have been registered before you try to remove it. The best way to achieve this is to set a higher priority for your event and then run it.
Presume that a theme has the following code:
The above registers a style with the handle `mywptheme` (See the documentation for
wp_enqueue_style
for more details on how to use it).Now in our plugin, or child theme, we want to remove this stylesheet from being loaded.
This can be achieved with the
wp_dequeue_style
function, and by making sure it runs at a lower priority (higher number) than the original function. The original function did not have a priority set, so it will use the default value of10
, so we just need a value of11
to run later.Take note that we are using the same style handle as the original registration used.
