Remove unused CSS:Page Apeed Insights

@syosyo

Thank you for reaching out, as I see this is another mistake I made when adding the footnote delimiter syntax validation feature I should have added all the additional style rules as inline CSS right in the tag, or at least as internal CSS in the head or in a <‌style> element next to the warning.

Also my adding it in the stylesheet contradicts the goal of tailoring minified stylesheets to the settings of the installation. But that was about not loading the CSS of the tooltips when the tooltip feature is deactivated, not about a few rules. But checking now I see that this validation error box amounts to over 0.4 kB of CSS.

Moreover, the delimiter syntax validation feature has never been explicitly requested, nor acknowledged when added in response to an issue caused by unbalanced delimiters raising 2 support topics (first at theme, then at Footnotes).

I will suggest that the developers remove the feature and its CSS altogether, or alternatively take this CSS off the stylesheet and move it to internal or better, to inline CSS:

* The div of class footnotes_validation_error gets style="border:4px solid red;padding:20px 40px;margin:20px 0;background:#ff000055;text-align:start" instead;
* The 1st paragraph gets style="font-size:20px;font-weight:700;text-align:center";
* The 2nd paragraph gets style="font-size:16px;font-style:italic";
* The 3rd paragraph gets style="font-size:14px;font-weight:700";
* The last paragraph gets style="font-size:12px".

Thank you very much for raising this issue. I apologize for getting it wrong once again.

Best regards.

Sorry, if you require an instant fix I will suggest deleting the following code from the minified stylesheet used in your instance, e.g. footnotes/css/jqttbrpl0.min.css:

.footnotes_validation_error{border:4px solid red;padding:20px 40px;margin:20px 0;background:#ff000055;text-align:start}.footnotes_validation_error p:first-child{font-size:20px;font-weight:700;text-align:center}.footnotes_validation_error p:nth-child(2){font-size:16px;font-style:italic}.footnotes_validation_error p:nth-child(3){font-size:14px;font-weight:700}.footnotes_validation_error p:last-child{font-size:12px}

Sadly I cannot release instant bugfixes any longer. Please let me know if I can assist you further with getting this PSI recommendation done.

Kind regards.
