   }

• theme-development
• jquery
• wp-enqueue-script

• 1 Perhaps try to set the priority later - like 100 - add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','theme_slug_dequeue_footer_jquery', 100 ); – Q Studio Commented Feb 18, 2021 at 21:17
• 2 Also try just using directory. I believe the -js part is added by WordPress. – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 19, 2021 at 2:17

Try this out. The -js is added by WordPress, so you don't need it when you are calling it.

function theme_slug_dequeue_footer_jquery() {

    if ( is_page_template('property_list_half.php') ) {
        wp_dequeue_style( 'directory' );
    }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','theme_slug_dequeue_footer_jquery');
