Does anyone know a really effective method for disabling a plugin (that is active) on a specific page? There are some plugins that are not really needed in some pages of the

Answer 1

First check, if the plugin you want to remove doesn't have an option menu where you set pages to exclude.

Second is, look for your plugin action hooks for ex:

add_action('wp_head', 'easy_fancybox', 999);

This is an example from easy fancybox plugin that hooks to wordpress header. To remove it, I placed this function in your functions.php and before any instance of wp_head(); is called:

function remove_easy_fancybox() {

     remove_action('wp_head', 'easy_fancybox_enqueue_styles');
     remove_action('wp_head', 'easy_fancybox_enqueue_scripts');
     remove_action('wp_head', 'easy_fancybox');

     wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery.fancybox' );
     wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery.easing' );
     wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery.mousewheel' );
     wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery.metadata' );
}

add_action('wp_head', 'remove_easy_fancybox', 1);
