WooCommerce: Disable Default WooCommerce CSS

There are times when you really want to do things right, you have a 5-figures budget and all the time in this world: you might want to override the whole WooCommerce CSS by disabling it completely, and applying your custom styles instead.

Despite this is an unusual task, I’ve researched the topic and here are my findings. Enjoy!

PHP Snippet: Disable WooCommerce Core CSS

Once upon a time there was a super handy checkbox in the WooCommerce settings for disabling CSS. Now, there is a 1-line snippet instead 🙂

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?
