Hi,
I am trying to remove the custom css code away from the header to help reduce code/text ratio for SEO purposes. I have read the forum in several places and followed some tutorials but I’m falling short at one stage. Note that I have x child setup and it’s been working for a while for other purposes.

Here’s what I did:
1- Copied the source code from my page that is contained after <style id=”x-generated-css” type=”text/css”> It includes all the custom code that I put in the customizer.
2- Pasted it in x-child/style.css (after the commented section)
3- Added the following function to the functions.php file in the x-child folder to remove the current code completely from the x-generated-css section.

function x_output_generated_styles() {
 //Empty
}

This should have removed the code from the header and the css located in the style.css file should have kicked in, right? Instead, it looks like the function did its job since all my styling disappeared, but the css didn’t kick in.

Any help would be appreciated. Website is http://www.azaltitudetraining.com

Thanks much!

Hello Greg,

Thank you for the credentials. For discussion and guidance on how to achieve that, please do check this thread:https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/move-inline-css-to-external-file/page/2/

Hope this helps.

Thank you, this is the thread I followed but it is not working 🙁 Not sure which step I’m missing. None of the code on page 2 of this thread worked.

Hi Greg,

I can see your issue. The first code is correct:

function x_output_generated_styles() {
 //Empty
}

Make sure to clear browser cache and your site cache too. Or try checking your site in Incognito mode.

Hope this helps.

Well I had tried that in the past and it seemed like the css from style.css wasn’t kicking in (my site has no style at all). I just tried again and now it works… So I assume that the browser or site cache was the problem.
Thanks for the help!

Glad to hear it,
