Alot of stylesheet requests after update 8.0

Found the solution adding this to the functions.php:

function disable_wp_blocks() {
$wstyles = array("wc-blocks-style","wc-blocks-style-active-filters","wc-blocks-style-add-to-cart-form","wc-blocks-packages-style","wc-blocks-style-all-products","wc-blocks-style-all-reviews","wc-blocks-style-attribute-filter","wc-blocks-style-breadcrumbs","wc-blocks-style-catalog-sorting","wc-blocks-style-customer-account","wc-blocks-style-featured-category","wc-blocks-style-featured-product","wc-blocks-style-mini-cart","wc-blocks-style-price-filter","wc-blocks-style-product-add-to-cart","wc-blocks-style-product-button","wc-blocks-style-product-categories","wc-blocks-style-product-image","wc-blocks-style-product-image-gallery","wc-blocks-style-product-query","wc-blocks-style-product-results-count","wc-blocks-style-product-reviews","wc-blocks-style-product-sale-badge","wc-blocks-style-product-search","wc-blocks-style-product-sku","wc-blocks-style-product-stock-indicator","wc-blocks-style-product-summary","wc-blocks-style-product-title","wc-blocks-style-rating-filter","wc-blocks-style-reviews-by-category","wc-blocks-style-reviews-by-product","wc-blocks-style-product-details","wc-blocks-style-single-product","wc-blocks-style-stock-filter","wc-blocks-style-cart","wc-blocks-style-checkout","wc-blocks-style-mini-cart-contents","classic-theme-styles-inline");

foreach ($wstyles as $wstyle){
 wp_deregister_style($wstyle);  
}

$wscripts = array("wc-blocks-middleware","wc-blocks-data-store");
 foreach ($wscripts as $wscript){
 wp_deregister_script($wscript);  
}
}
add_action( "init", "disable_wp_blocks",100 );

Where did you find the code to add out of interest? I’ve had similar issues on my site and luckily Asset Clean you can just select the CSS but been looking for a function code as rather frustrating!

Hey @mattthomas-photography,

I am very focused on super clean coded web building with Gutenberg and Woocommerce so this solution was very important for me.

I found this code here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/391126/remove-woocommerce-block-styles

Looks like it’s just been added as been looking for a function code since the 8.0 launch. Saw that page before but the old versions didn’t work, glad this new one does though! Way too many extra CSS files for sites that don’t need or function with them

Interesting, I was looking for something else, but stopped in to read this post.

Here is what I applied recently, took a while to figure out that one needs to “deregister” and “deque” to make this work properly.

//Remove Gutenberg Block Library CSS from loading on the frontend
function smartwp_remove_wp_block_library_css(){
	wp_deregister_style('wp-block-library');	
	wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-block-library' );
	wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-block-library-theme' );
	wp_dequeue_style( 'wc-blocks-style' ); // Remove WooCommerce block CSS
} 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'smartwp_remove_wp_block_library_css', 100 );

@jandal nice simple code that! Tested and works to remove from the front end all those extra scripts. The nice thing about the first code is that it also removes from the WP admin as well
