Disable load of Prettyphoto Lightbox

[RickG]

I’d like to disable the loading of prettyphoto so I can replace it with another lightbox that is easier for a user to control.

In the framework.php file I find the following references:

wp_enqueue_script('jquery-prettyphoto', MO_SCRIPTS_LIB_URL . '/jquery.prettyPhoto.js', array('jquery'), '3.1.4', true);

wp_register_style('pretty-photo', MO_THEME_URL . '/css/prettyPhoto.css', array(), false, 'screen');

wp_register_style('style-theme', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('pretty-photo', 'icon-fonts'), false, 'all');

wp_enqueue_style('pretty-photo');

Can I simply comment these out w/o errors? And what happens if there is an update to the theme?

Many thanks –

That should work. Instead of commenting, you may want to deregister styles/scripts using code as explained in the below post –

in your child theme if you want to protect yourself during future updates.
