Minify manually -> Combine JS : W3 does dequeue the resource

    Hello,

    I want to combine all javascripts enqueued before </body> in one file.
    When I add a JS script in the “JS file management” section the selected URI is added to the default.include.js file which is fine.
    *** BUT ***
    W3TC does not remove the standard
    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://<uri-to-js>/js/example.js'></script>
    line in HTML ?!

    All minified/combined resources should be removed from the HTML source code as they are cached in the W3TC default.include.js

    Can somebody help me understand this, and tell me what I should configure or do to have the standard code removed.

    thank you
    Marc

    It might happen if your theme or other plugins may have queued the JS in the wrong way.

    So for example, if you have your jquery combined in the default.include file, another plugin may queue it again.

    See the first example here for example:

    Thanks for your quick reply ??

    I’m using Avada, so I suppose they do the override.
    So to bypass the problem I now wp_dequeue_script() all the urls/handles that I added manually in W3TC.

    NOW comes another question :
    The wp_enqueue_script() function on handles adds sometimes :
    1. <script>some inline javacript</script>
    2. <script src=”some url”></script>

    When I do a wp_dequeue_script() on such handles I loose both : inline JS and url JS.
    Now I would like to keep the inline JS when I wp_dequeue_script() as the url JS will be in the W3TC default.inline.js file.

    Is there an easy way to do this ?

    Another solution would be to patch W3TC so that it adds with the url JS also the inline JS.

    What do you think, what is the best solution ?

    Marc,

    Hmmm. Can’t immediately figure the best way.

    What happens if you dequeue something is that the scripts which depend on them also get dequeued automatically.

    So I suppose your theme queues some WordPress library.js file in a non-standard way and other javascript including inline.

    A brute force way is to just make an external file which has the same inline javascript you lost and then add them to the files in JS File Management. (as you suggest).

    Did you try to enqueue the script that you dequeued? Possible your problems might go away that way with no doubling.

    Well I will have to think a bit about the safest way to achieve this.

    I close the ticket for now, as I got the answer to my question.

    thank you for your support,
    have a nice evening
