   remove_action('wp_head','thematic_head_scripts'); is the first line in my functions.php but it won't remove this lines from the generated site.

   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/thematic/library/scripts/hoverIntent.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/thematic/library/scripts/superfish.js"></script>
   
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/thematic/library/scripts/supersubs.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/thematic/library/scripts/thematic-dropdowns.js"></script>

   put i the remove_action directly at the scripts.php after add_action('wp_head','thematic_head_scripts'); it works.

   Whats going wrong?

   Hey Björn,

   try
   

   function remove_scripts() {
       remove_action('wp_head','thematic_head_scripts');
   }
   add_action('init', 'remove_scripts');

   Cheers,

   Thx Chris, it works.
   But am i wrong to remove a action only with remove_action ?

   No .. normally .. hmmm .. Need to go into the details to explain it:

   Let's say you want to remove an action listed in a plugin then you can to this by a simple remove_action.

   In your case you need to wrap it into an action added to 'init' 'cause of the order WordPress loads several things: plugins, theme, template. Doing a simple remove_action on a action listed in the template (in our case Thematic) can't work, because it's not loaded at the time you execute the theme (functions.php). Dropping the remove_action into 'init' will wait until everything is loaded before executing the command.

   Cheers,

   Chris

   Thanks Chris,
   I was having the same problem trying to replace the thematic_access function. This fixed it!

   Is there any way to get rid of the jQuery script in the header as well?

   Hi Mischif,

   Try:
   

   function remove_scripts() {
       if (!is_admin()) {
   	    wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   	}
   	remove_action('wp_head','thematic_head_scripts');
   }
   add_action('init', 'remove_scripts');

    Is there any reason why remove_scripts should work fine on a local install but not on a live site?

    PS: I really should have mentioned that I'm running 0.9.7.7 locally and 0.9.7.8 on my server (which I'm guessing may have something to do with it)

    Cheers - any clue why I'm having the above problem:

    function remove_scripts() {
        remove_action('wp_head','thematic_head_scripts');
    }
    add_action('init', 'remove_scripts');

    Does the above snippet not work in the latest version?

    Apologies for bumping once more. Is the above code compatible with 0.9.7.8 or is something else causing it to not remove the scripts?

    OK one last go.

    I finally installed the development version (9.8) on both the local dev version of my site and on the live host to make a direct comparison.

    Both sites are identical but the remove_scripts code above has no effect on the live site.

    What could be causing this?

    OK - it looks like WP-supercache might have been the culprit. I thought this might have been the case and tried disabling it but without any joy.

    Since tinkering last night the head scripts have finally disappeared from my source.
