Disable Dashicons on Frontend

Loads fewer icon styles on your public pages for guests. Not recommended if you use Elementor, Bricks, or similar builders on the front end.

Overview

Dequeues the Dashicons stylesheet for logged-out visitors on the public site (not the login screen). Logged-in users still get Dashicons when needed in the admin bar. Saves a CSS request and icon font weight for typical guests.

Who is this for?

Sites whose public theme does not rely on Dashicons icons
Performance baselines for guests on classic themes
Teams replacing a dedicated “dequeue Dashicons” snippet or plugin

Features

Guest-only dequeue

Removes Dashicons CSS for logged-out visitors on the front end.

Login screen safe

Does not strip Dashicons from the WordPress login screen.

Admin unaffected

Dashboard and logged-in admin-bar usage keep working as WordPress expects.

Use Cases

Custom themes with their own icons
Themes that ship SVG or font icons (not Dashicons) can drop unused Dashicons CSS for guests.

High-traffic brochure sites
Public marketing sites optimizing guest CSS load can remove an icon stylesheet visitors never need.

Agency starter stacks
Standardize lean front-end defaults by disabling unused core assets without a separate snippet plugin.
