Snippet: Prevent the Child Theme’s Style.css File from Loading

  • Updated:

Simple go to your child theme's functions.php file and replace the function that enqueues the parent CSS file with the following code. This will re-register the child theme's style.css and re-register the parent theme's style.css with the correct handle.

/**
 * Load the parent style.css file
 *
 * @link http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
 */
function total_child_enqueue_parent_theme_style() {

	// First de-register the main stylesheet (which is now your child theme style.css)
	wp_dequeue_style( WPEX_THEME_STYLE_HANDLE );
	wp_deregister_style( WPEX_THEME_STYLE_HANDLE );

	// Add the parent style.css with the main style handle
	wp_enqueue_style( WPEX_THEME_STYLE_HANDLE, get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css', array(), WPEX_THEME_VERSION );

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'total_child_enqueue_parent_theme_style' );
All PHP snippets should be added via child theme's functions.php file or via a plugin. We recommend Code Snippets (100% Free) or WPCode (sponsored)
