Hi Dee,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

Toolset plugins load some additional styles and scripts, only when a certain theme or plugin is active on the website. This is to ensure that our plugins can maintain maximum possible compatibility with those themes or plugins.

Your observation is correct and at the moment that file ( "generatepress-overrides.css" ) is empty, but I believe that it is placed so that any known incompatibilities between Toolset and the "Generatepress" theme can be overridden through that file, if and when needed.

For future proofing, I'll recommend to keep the file at its original location and let it load, as normal.

In case, you'd like to remove its loading call, you can remove or comment the line #121, in file "wpddl.layouts-generate-press-theme.class.php":
( wp-views/vendor/toolset/toolset-theme-settings/compatibility-modules/themes )

do_action( 'toolset_enqueue_styles', array( 'generatepress-overrides-css' ) );

regards,
Waqar

Hi waqar, is there any function can be used for this rather then removing the lines ? updating might need to redo . thanks

Hi Dee,

Thanks for writing back.

You can use "wp_dequeue_style" function, to remove this script, without editing the plugin file.
( ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_style )

Example:

function remove_generatepress_overrides_css() {
   wp_dequeue_style( 'generatepress-overrides-css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'remove_generatepress_overrides_css', 10 );

Note: the above function can be added into the active theme's "functions.php" file.

regards,
Waqar
