Disable scripts and css on other pages

I have this which woks, but would appreciate an ‘official’ alternative.

// Dequeue the Slider stylesheet, except front page
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', function() {
	// if we are on front page, abort.
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		return;
	}

	wp_dequeue_style( 'seo-slider' );
}, 100 );

and;

// Dequeue the Slider script, except front page
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', function() {
	// if we are on front page, abort.
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		return;
	}

	wp_dequeue_script( 'seo-slider' );
}, 100 );

@darrencss It’s not possible to tell which pages have a slider and which ones don’t. It is possible to check which pages have a slider in the content but that doesn’t include widget areas.

Your solution will work, you could also do the following:

if ( ! is_front_page() ) {
    remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'seo_slider_scripts_styles' );
}

Thanks for the response, however, I have found excluding the code causes problems with other plugins.

As a consequence I have simply removed the slider. It looks like the most ‘seo-friendly’ slider is actually no slider at all.

@darrencss there might have been an error in your code somewhere.

I can’t see how removing the plugins assets could possibly affect other plugins?
