How can I de-register ALL styles all at once? And same with Javascript?

Question

How can I get all enqueued styles or scripts and then deregister them all at once?

Answer 1

I hope you know what you are doing. You can wp_print_styles and wp_print_scripts action hooks and then get the global $wp_styles and $wp_scripts object variables in their respective hooks.

The "registered" attribute lists registered scripts and the "queue" attribute lists queue scripts on both of the above objects.

An example code to empty the scripts and style queue.

function pm_remove_all_scripts() {
    global $wp_scripts;
    $wp_scripts->queue = array();
}
add_action('wp_print_scripts', 'pm_remove_all_scripts', 100);
function pm_remove_all_styles() {
    global $wp_styles;
    $wp_styles->queue = array();
}
add_action('wp_print_styles', 'pm_remove_all_styles', 100);

You can also do it on a per basis by finding the handlers being called upon, search for wp_enqueue_style or wp_enqueue_script you can deregister them like this on your functions.php

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 );

function my_deregister_styles() {
    wp_deregister_style( 'some-css' );
}


add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );

function my_deregister_javascript() {
    wp_deregister_script( 'tutorials-js' );
    wp_deregister_script( 'gsc_dialog' );
    wp_deregister_script( 'gsc_jquery' );
}

Hameedullah solution is better, however if you run into problems due to some scripts not loading give the above a shot.
