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?

If it means anything to you, your site loads fine, and I could be wrong but the bbpress css is only executed on bbpress pages – Aliyah Feb 15 at 21:25
Every single millisecond counts. Thanks though. – Angelo Suerte Feb 15 at 21:27

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');
    }
}

Thanks! This is the one I'm looking for. – Angelo Suerte Feb 16 at 0:26

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" />';
    }
    ?>

There is no bbpress template in my theme. It resides on plugin directory. Please check it out on pageantly.com. – Angelo Suerte Feb 15 at 20:58
What is your bbpress slug? /forum? /support? – Aliyah Feb 15 at 20:59
The slug is /forums/ – Angelo Suerte Feb 15 at 21:01
Yeah, I think it will work, perhaps. However, using that if statement I might have duplicated the css without unhooking the other one... – Angelo Suerte Feb 15 at 21:07
Find the file where the css is originally loaded, comment the lines out and duplicate the above to include all bbpress css links. – Aliyah Feb 15 at 21:08
