WordPress includes 2 functions which you can use in your child themes functions.php file to deregister and dequeue style sheets for themes and plugins.
Deregister a CSS file that was registered with wp_register_style().
wp_deregister_style()Dequeue a CSS file that was enqueued with wp_enqueue_style().
wp_dequeue_style()Using the same function, you can correctly enqueue your own style sheets.
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_default_stylesheet', 20 );
function remove_default_stylesheet() {
<pre><code>wp_dequeue_style( 'original-enqueue-stylesheet-handle' );
wp_deregister_style( 'original-register-stylesheet-handle' );
wp_register_style( 'new-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/new.css', false, '1.0.0' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'new-style' );
</code></pre>
}Simply replace original-enqueue-stylesheet-handle with the name of the handle that was used to enqueue and/or register the default style sheet for any plugin or parent theme.
This code enables you to move a plugins style sheet to your child theme and style it there so any plugin updates don’t over-write your custom styling for the plugin.
You could also use this code to remove the styles from a parent theme and add your own in your child theme.
If you don’t want to enqueue a new style sheet for a plugin or theme, you can simply add the CSS code at the end of your child themes style.css file.
Hello,
Let me ask something: if I want to use 2 different css styles on my WordPress website, should I deque first the old css style for the page where I want to apply the new css style?
Thank you!
