[Support request] Removing The Internet Explorer conditional comment

[Patrick]

Hi,
could you please advise how to remove the Internet Explorer conditional comment from the HTML…

<!--[if lte IE 11]> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://MYWEBSITE.com/wp-content/themes/generatepress/js/classList.min.js?ver=2.4.2'></script> <![endif]-->

I’m building a site using a child theme of GeneratePress and would like to remove the reference to the parent theme. Although, I believe that this may affect upgrading Generatepress, its no problem for this project.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi there,

Are you wanting to remove the conditional or the entire classList.min.js file?

[Patrick]

Just the conditional please.
Thanks

Hmm, we use the core wp_script_add_data() function to add the condition, but they don’t have a way to remove it.

The only way is somewhat hacky, and might not be super update-proof if we ever change the file/handle.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'generate-classlist' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-generate-classlist', get_template_directory_uri() . "/js/classList{$suffix}.js", array(), GENERATE_VERSION, true );
}, 100 );
