@noearthling: It’s pretty simple.
Go to Theme Options -> Featured Slider -> Slider Options.
Then in number of slides. Type in 0. This will remove all the ids in the slider and then if the slider doesn’t find any ids it will simply be disabled.
Hi Sakin,
thank you very much for your answer, but I already did what you said. I disabled the slider by setting the number of slides to 0, so the slider won’t show anymore. But the files, e.g. slider.js, are still loaded slowing down the performance. I would like to remove this file from the theme completely without destroying the theme.
Do you have any suggestions how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
@noearthling: in theme fucntion.php you will see the below code:
/**
* Register jquery scripts
*
* @register jquery cycle and custom-script
* hooks action wp_enqueue_scripts
*/
function catchbox_scripts_method() {
//Register JQuery circle all and JQuery set up as dependent on Jquery-cycle
wp_register_script( 'jquery-cycle', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js', array( 'jquery' ), '2.9999.5', true );
//Enqueue Slider Script only in Front Page
if(is_home() || is_front_page()) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox_slider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/catchbox_slider.js', array( 'jquery-cycle' ), '1.0', true );
}
wp_enqueue_script('catchbox-menu', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/catchbox-menu.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.1.0', true);
//Browser Specific Enqueue Script i.e. for IE 1-6
$catchbox_ua = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(preg_match('/(?i)msie [1-6]/',$catchbox_ua)) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox-pngfix', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/pngfix.min.js' );
}
//browser specific queuing i.e. for IE 1-8
if(preg_match('/(?i)msie [1-8]/',$catchbox_ua)) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox-html5', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/html5.js' );
}
} // catchbox_scripts_method
Replace this with the following:
/**
* Register jquery scripts
*
* @register jquery cycle and custom-script
* hooks action wp_enqueue_scripts
*/
function catchbox_scripts_method() {
/*
//Register JQuery circle all and JQuery set up as dependent on Jquery-cycle
wp_register_script( 'jquery-cycle', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js', array( 'jquery' ), '2.9999.5', true );
//Enqueue Slider Script only in Front Page
if(is_home() || is_front_page()) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox_slider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/catchbox_slider.js', array( 'jquery-cycle' ), '1.0', true );
}
*/
wp_enqueue_script('catchbox-menu', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/catchbox-menu.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.1.0', true);
//Browser Specific Enqueue Script i.e. for IE 1-6
$catchbox_ua = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(preg_match('/(?i)msie [1-6]/',$catchbox_ua)) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox-pngfix', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/pngfix.min.js' );
}
//browser specific queuing i.e. for IE 1-8
if(preg_match('/(?i)msie [1-8]/',$catchbox_ua)) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'catchbox-html5', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/html5.js' );
}
} // catchbox_scripts_method
Hi Sakin,
that helped!
I removed the part you marked as “comment” from the file altogether and it doesn’t seem to have any negative effects so far. If you do have any concerns about this, please let me know.
Thanks again for your help.
@noearthling: just remember this setting if you have done edits in you core theme file. So, whenever there is update. You can just do it..
