Examples
#1 Demonstration of use
Suppose we have a jQuery script on our site, but for some reason we don't need it. This example shows how to disable the jQuery script:
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'de_script', 100 );
function de_script() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery' );
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
} #2 Dequeue a script
For example, there is jquery-ui-core script on our page, but we don't need it, let's remove it.
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'wpdocs_dequeue_script', 100 );
/**
* Dequeue the jQuery UI script.
*
* Hooked to the wp_print_scripts action, with a late priority (100),
* so that it is after the script was enqueued.
*/
function wpdocs_dequeue_script() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-ui-core' );
}
