I'm building a plugin that loads iframes to display some content. I have specific scripts & styles for that content and would thus like to ignore the active theme when loading those templates; both to save loading time & to avoid CSS conflicts.
I know it is possible to dequeue all scripts & styles using the wp_enqueue_scripts and wp_enqueue_scripts hooks.
Thing is, as my plugin do also queue some scripts and styles, it would be cleaner to find a way to disable the current theme uphill rather than to quibble to unload some files and not others.
SO: is it possible to ignore / unload the current theme on certain pages / templates ?
Thanks

Reset to default 0here is no specialized hook for this. However the hook switch_theme should work for you.
/**
* Switches current theme to new template and stylesheet names.
*
* @since unknown
* @uses do_action() Calls 'switch_theme' action on updated theme display name.
*
* @param string $template Template name
* @param string $stylesheet Stylesheet name.
*/
function switch_theme($template, $stylesheet) {
update_option('template', $template);
update_option('stylesheet', $stylesheet);
delete_option('current_theme');
$theme = get_current_theme();
do_action('switch_theme', $theme);
}
So you should write custom function that deactivate the theme via hook and activate back, if your done with your task.
add_action('switch_theme', function($theme){
if ( 'Your_Theme_Name' == $theme )
{
// do something.
}
// do others.
return;
});
