Never Enqueued Stylehsheet

Question

I never Enqueued the main stylesheet I'm using on my Wordpress site in the functions.php doc. I just uploaded the stylesheet to the site. Everything works, but I now want to dequeue the stylesheet on a specific page template. How would I go about enqueueing the stylesheet? I'm not sure why my stylesheet works even though I haven't enqueued it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

style.css is a requirement for any theme. Therefore you cannot dequeue it. You can however have a blank (except for the comments) style.css and enqueue another stylesheet for certain templates. To do so you would use wp_enqueue_scripts() like so :

function my_enqueue_style() {
  if ( is_front_page() ) {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'mystyle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/mystyle.css' );
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_style' );
