How to wp_dequeue_style font awesome icons?

Try dequeue_style instead of dequeue_script;

wp_dequeue_style( $handle )

Ahhh, I didn’t notice it was a CSS file. Damn, it!! Thank you, Andrew. I’m going to flush myself. -_-

no. I do not wish to dequeue the stylesheet because the custom icons I’m using are implemented using .fa fw fa-whatever:before{};. So without the stylesheet the icons would be all out of place.

Are you saying you’ve modified the theme’s files?

The only way I can be helped is if some expert enter my parent theme’s functions.php and remove the codes to prevent enqueuing and registering of Font Awesome icons altogether. But that would be asking too much from that person. So, thank you again for your time and efforts. I’m grateful.

How do I dequeue font awesome icons using child theme’s functions.php?

I do not wish to dequeue the stylesheet

They are two completely conflicting goals.

If you have modified the theme’s font stylesheet, remove your modifications and transfer them to your Child Theme style.css file. Then dequeue the parent theme stylesheet as we’ve instructed.

If you don’t want to dequeue the parent theme font then I assume you have a misunderstanding of how this font works. This font is a CSS file, which holds the icons. The icons are not actual image files, the icons are generated from the CSS.

Nope Andrew. I did it in my child theme’s stylesheet.

Sorry I probably confused you Andrew. .fa-whatever:before{content=""; background=url("...")} replaces the FA icon but since it has the .fa class, its styling is determined by the stylesheet located in rowling>fa>css which is why I cannot dequeue the stylesheet.

Ok thanks Andrew. I think I can do that.

Therefore, as a good and responsible WordPress support user, I must mark this topic resolved.
