Autoptimize not minifying wp-content

if it’s not in the exclude list, it should get aggregated & minified (and does so on other sites), no idea what’s happening there tabasco86, sorry. if you can, try disabling other plugins and/ or briefly switch themes to identify what’s going on. best would if we could have a look on a non-production site, do you have that?

additionally, there’s also an external jquery being included;

Hi Frank,

I know. It’s a big mystery to me too.
Unfortunately I don’t have a non-production site yet. I know that’s a big no-no, I’ve been postponing it as long as possible..

I load the external jquery because for some reason one of my js doesn’t work except if I load the jquery.

Tonight I’ll deactivate all my plugins and check if I can find what might be causing this issue. My theme shouldn’t be the reason I hope (cause switching would be a nightmare) ??

I think I might have an idea why it’s not working. I renamed wp-content to comilu-content.
Is it possible that because of this AO is only grabbing js from within cormilu-content and not js from wp-content?

not 100% sure, but certainly not impossible.

Can I simply change it to wp-content or will that trash my entire site? If possible I’ll rename it and check. then of course if there are any errors I can switch back to cormilu-content.
Alternatively, is there any line in your code that I could modify to tell it that the folder is cormilu-content and that wp-includes is part of it?

I kind of have the feeling this might be the cause.

i’d advise you to experiment on your to-be non-prod environment really, things seem too .. erratic on your prod.

Hi Frank,

I’ve started creating the test environment and will hopefully be done soon.
As this is my first time it’s taking a bit longer than usual I guess.
You’re fully right, I won’t change the folder name. I’ve read up on it and it seems that’s a bit no no.
I’m now however that the only folder not being taken into account is the wp-includes folder, both for css and js.
Is there by any chance a function.php code or something like that, that I could add to try and include the folder? It would be interesting to find out and could potentially save a lot of time debugging.

Cheers,
Amir

well, AO will be default aggregate all JS/CSS under your wordpress base URL, including stuff in wp-content and wp-includes, so you should not need extra code in functions.php actually.

kind regards,
frank

Ok sure,
in that case I’ll get back to you when I have a staging environment set up.

Have a great day and thanks for your support Frank,
Amir

This is the problem:
define('AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_CONTENT_NAME','/wp-content');

WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL shouldl be used.

This is the problem:
define(‘AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_CONTENT_NAME’,’/wp-content’);

WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL shouldl be used.

close enough ??

1. when changing the name of your wp-content folder you should do that following the official wordpress procedure. this will, in most cases, suffice.
2. if this does not work, you can (and should) define the name of the wp-content-folder (not the full path as WP_CONTENT_DIR and not the full URL like WP_CONTENT_URL does, both of which are used by autoptimize) by defining your own AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_CONTENT_NAME in wp-config.php in which case the define in autoptimize.php will not be done (the define Viktor mentions is conditional to it not having been defind yet).

hope this helps ??

if AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_CONTENT_NAME indeed turns out to be at fault, then have a go at this little possible fix ..
