I am trying to remove a line of script in the footer of my page that a plugin is inserting on pages that I am not using the plugin at, homepage for example. I am using the below code for some reason it will still display the script. Any suggestions?

The line I need removed: <script type='text/javascript' src='.min.js?ver=2.6.11' id='jet-vue-js'></script>

The code in my functions.php

function review_enqueue() {
    if (is_front_page()) {
       wp_dequeue_script('jet-vue-js');
    }
}
add_action('wp_dequeue_scripts', 'review_enqueue');

• 1 There is no wp_dequeue_scripts action, have you contacted jet reviews support? 3rd party plugin dev support is offtopic here – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Jan 19, 2021 at 0:39
• You're applying this incorrectly: developer.wordpress/reference/functions/wp_dequeue_script You will then also need to make sure this executes after the plugin has already registered the script. – Tony Djukic Commented Jan 19, 2021 at 3:01

It still displays the script because you are using the wrong hook (and it doesn't exist) — wp_dequeue_scripts, and secondly, if the script is indeed enqueued via wp_enqueue_script(), then the generated id (used in the <script> tag) is in the form of <script handle>-js (i.e. suffixed with a -js) where <script handle> is the first parameter for wp_enqueue_script().

Therefore in your case, the script handle is just jet-vue without the -js, and try dequeuing the script via the wp_print_scripts hook instead.

function review_enqueue() {
        if ( is_front_page() ) {
             wp_dequeue_script( 'jet-vue' );
        }
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'review_enqueue' );

If that doesn't work, you can try using a lower priority (i.e. a greater number) as the 3rd parameter for add_action(). E.g.

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'review_enqueue', 20 );

And if that still doesn't work, then try contacting the plugin support and ask them for the proper way to dequeue their scripts. :)
