Loading bbPress CSS file only on forum directory

Question

I added bbpress forum pluggin in my site to handle discussions, forum or comments. The bbPress CSS file is added to every page of my blog. Now, I want to load it only on forum directory to consider page speed. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

The styles are enqueued in the function enqueue_styles() inside the file /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php.

It's a matter of using is_bbpress() and wp_dequeue_style. Only one of the styles is enqueued, but here we're removing all 3 possibilities.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbpress_enqueue_wpse_87081', 15 );

function bbpress_enqueue_wpse_87081()
{
    // Check if bbpress exists
    if( !function_exists( 'is_bbpress' ) )
        return;

    if( !is_bbpress() )
    {
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-child-bbpress');
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-parent-bbpress');
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default-bbpress');
    }
}

try this in your header

<?php
if(is_page_template('bbpress.php' 'forum.php' or whatever your forum template is)){
   echo '<link href="path/to/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
}
?>

the if(is_page_template) is supposed to load the css only on that page template.

OR

<?php
    if(is_page('forums')){
       echo '<link href="path/to/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
    }
    ?>
