Smart Slider 3

    So I was having trouble with flashing and I tried AO and it brilliantly fixed the issue; however, it breaks Smart Slider 3 when I try to minify js files.

    I tried adding 2 js files to the exclusion list since they are being loaded before I used the minification.

    seal.js, js/jquery/jquery.js, /wp-content/plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/library/media/dist/smartslider-frontend.min.js, /wp-content/plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/library/media/plugins/type/block/block/dist/smartslider-block-type-frontend.min.js

    Does the above look correct and/or how do I go about troubleshooting this problem? I was using FVM previously and it did not break the site yet the css minification did not solve my flashing menu issue. I don’t really want to run 2 plugins.

    Thoughts?

    you’ll probably have to remove /wp-content from your exclusions. maybe make it just js/jquery/jquery.js, plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/ ? there’s more info in the FAQ on troubleshooting, but the most important tip is indeed excluding as you’re doing already and checking the browser console for JavaScript errors actually.

    hope this helps,

    Hi @johnbauman2505!

    If the exclusion still wouldn’t work, we made our own option too, to make our files excluded from minifications, so you can try out that. It is at our Nextend settings:
    https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/457-nextend-settings-general-settings
    JavaScript part, where you should turn on the Async, Minify and Combine options.

    Firstly, thanks for looking into this Gabor and Frank.

    1. I tried just turning on async, minify and combine and then used AO. …broke

    2. I tried the settings above and:
    seal.js, js/jquery/jquery.js, /plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/library/media/dist/smartslider-frontend.min.js, /plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/library/media/plugins/type/block/block/dist/smartslider-block-type-frontend.min.js …broke

    3. I tried just the exclusion. ..broke

    4. I noticed that when I checked Asycn, it also broke the slider.

    5. I tried AO and just Nextend combine and minify …broken

    6. I tried FVM for the js and the Nextend combine and minify and my Yslow score went from 79% to 86% and taking .7s off the load speed. AO handling the css.

    so when using AO for JS optimization; what JS error(s) did you see on the browser console with and without the exclusion of plugins/nextend-smart-slider3-pro/?

    I looked at the console after the first one, but I’m not adept at what I’m looking for. I didn’t see anything jump out at me saying error. Sorry. I’ll try again later, but I’m going to move on to other issues for today.
