Auto minify not working

css files are not minifying like they used to …

I disabled the filename length check, but it only helps not to show the warning message. Auto Minify still does not work for CSS.

Why ruin a good thing ? It used to work just fine before the last 2 updates.

Well, they obviously wanted to improve their product and not cause for an error like this. Let’s just hope they are working on it and we can again be thankful for such a brilliant (free!) plugin. Just my 2 cents.

Well, I take back what I said. I downgraded to 2 versions back and it is still the same css not being minified, it seems. If I remember correctly, I may be wrong of course, the css was minified in the older versions that when one looks at the generated html code, everything is unreadable. This time, I see css lines clearly arranged in rows, easily readable.

Anyway, I didn’t complain 2 versions back, so I guess it’s fine with me. I can always use BWP-Minify if I feel like it …

Thanks, W3TC guys, at least for the cache part which still works great !

The latest version gives option to disable the test and enter a value manually. Default value before was 150 characters. Since different servers support different file name length limits, the plugin needs to try and find the optimal length. The longer the file name supported the fewer minified files are generated per page.

@leanderbraunschweig Does wp-content/cache/minify/.htaccess contain text should be rewrite rule, rewritecond etc. If not try to add the minify rules from the install page of the plugin manually. If this doesnt help could you send a bug report from the support page so we can look closer?

@astrasuite Do you have Minify Debug enabled?

@frederick, no, it is disabled …

Maybe you can just do a quick glance at the page source and see if css minify is working as normal or not … I am not sure at the moment.

If you can submit a bug submission from the support tab of the plugin I can take a look.

@frederick The .htaccess does list Rewrite Rules etc. so that isn’t the issue – since the problem persists I went ahead and submitted a bug report. Looking forward to you/your team looking into it. Thanks.

Is there anywhere we can download the old version from? I was getting the same errors described in this thread, and now on a different server I’m getting the random blank white pages issue on some pages, which only seems to occur after visiting the page a few times.

I stopped the automatic file length, then a choose a number that works with my server.

In my case I choose the bigger one 246.

For those people that are getting this error:

“The filename length value is most likely too high for your host”
