Howdy,

Just to say “thanks” worked brilliantly and was super handy in lightening a mobile version of the site

Wow I had actually deleted the wp-pagenavi.css and added the CSS to Main: style.css to speed up my pages. As well as I had disabled: “Use pagenavi-css.css” from wp-admin PageNavi menu. Every thing looks good so I never checked server logs. I was surprised when I checked my apache “error.log” today it was so big as 800MB in only 2 months!!!

wp-pagenavi was reason for this mess and to get rid of that I found this article and I :
1). Started to search for: wp_enqueue_style in wp-pagenavi.php unfortunalty I couldn’t find that word in this file or directory.

2). Added this to my themes functions.php

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 );

function my_deregister_styles() {
	wp_deregister_style( 'wp-pagenavi' );
}

3). I also tried to add: remove_action(‘wp-pagenavi’);
to functions.php

—-
I tried this but my server was still showing same error.log growing

Finally I had to edit file: plugins/wp-pagenavi/core.php
COMPLETLY REMOVE LINE NR 180, Looks ike:

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', array( __CLASS__, 'stylesheets' ) );

And the error is GONE

I wonder:
1). How can I remove this action from themes functions.php instead of deleting line 180? It would be good to know since future updates for wp-pagenavi will put this line back again.

2). How to achieve 100% performances? The best way is actually to delete line 180 in wp-pagenavi/core.php? It doesn’t make any sense to define this function/action on every page to server and then telling it again to “don’t use/remove” this function/action.

You should remove every single byte which is useless if you are on a low budget server or are a professional developer to achieve and deliver BEST Performances.
Bytes makes KB´s & KB´s makes MB´s.. so on..

Thank you Justin for helping
