Remove link tag for default.min.css in head

Hi,

thanks for your question.

This is possible by using a small plugin filter hook. Just add

add_filter( 'tablepress_use_default_css', '__return_false' );

to your theme’s “functions.php” or a small new plugin, and TablePress will no longer embed its default CSS.
Note that you should then manually refresh the TablePress CSS in your theme CSS/SASS file, after each TablePress update.

Tobias

Hi Alex,

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

Tobias,
First off, thanks so much for all your hard work with this plugin, it shows, and it is appreciated!

I am trying to implement the above plugin filter hook you wrote about for disabling the default css and it doesn’t seem to be stopping the default css sheet from loading.

I have added it into a child themes function.php file. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I figured out a way to do it from the child theme.

I used the above add_filter call along with action “after_setup_theme”:

function remove_parent_theme_functionality(){
add_filter('tablepress_use_default_css','__return_false');
}
add_action('after_setup_theme','remove_parent_theme_functionality',11);

This worked from within my child theme.

Hi,

very nice! Good to hear that this worked!
You should however not need that extra wrapping action.
A plain

add_filter( 'tablepress_use_default_css', '__return_false' );

should work fine.

100% agree with you. But in the event someone else comes across the same issue, this is what my current use case is:

• Extending the Twenty Thirteen theme
• Using Foundation 4 to create a custom child theme, not a pre-built theme
• Unregistering a number of parent theme features to reduce page load time and simplify the templates.

What worked:

function remove_parent_theme_functionality(){
   add_filter('tablepress_use_default_css','__return_false');
}
add_action('after_setup_theme','remove_parent_theme_functionality',11);

Thanks again for the awesome plugin, it is a job well done.

Hi,

thanks for sharing this! Yes, then the code is okay, as everything then has the same structure in your child theme. Nice!

Best wishes,
Tobias
