# CSS doesn’t load without dashicons css

 * Is there a reason why Ninja Forms is dependent on dashicons.css?
 * I deregistered the dashicons.css except in the admin to speed up pageload. The
   side effect of that is that the CSS of Ninja Forms doesn’t load.
 * Here’s the function.php that breaks Ninja Forms:
 * add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘dequeue_css’ );
    function dequeue_css() {
 * if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    wp_deregister_style( ‘dashicons’ ); } }
 * If you look at the page linked. You’ll see the Ninja Forms honeypot below the
   submit button.

 * Hey,
 * Some of the styling that can be applied through the form builder introduce elements
   that are reliant on dashicons to function. So, our structural styles have dashicons
   as a dependency.
 * Ideally, we would prefer to only require that dependency in cases when we can
   detect that it is necessary, but that’s a future solution. At the moment, we’ve
   chosen to err on the side of caution.
 * If you’d like to manually enqueue our stylesheet in the same function that you’ve
   used to remove dashicons, you should be able to do so with the following:
 * wp_enqueue_style( ‘nf-display’, Ninja_Forms::$url . ‘assets/css/display-structure.
   css’ );
 * -KR
