Fatal error

Very weird der-bank-blog, could you copy/paste the exact error-message here?

It just said (in German) The plugin could not be activated, because it produces a fatal error

Is it “normal” that there are more than 58,000 files stored under /cache/autoptimize/js ?

re.: the fatal error; absolutely no idea I’m afraid, this is the first report of this occurring, even though the last release is 3 months out and has been downloaded approximately 40.000 times since then. no idea how to debug (yet) that I’m afraid … ??

re.: cache size, there’s info in the FAQ describing why this happens and how to configure AO to not do that (hint: exclude page- or request-specific inline JS).

I will delete all files and try to install it again. Let you know about the result

After deleting all files and Setting up everything new, it seems to work fine again.

Not sure, if I get it right with the Caching files. Do I have to mark the box for static?

Great (a relief, really)!

Regarding static vs dynamic; static is default & better, except it you’re not on apache in which case dynamic optimized files will make sure expiry & compression are handled by PHP instead of by your webserver.

Ist my relief as well. I really like your plugin.

I still am not sure how to prevent from saving many Caching files. I looked through the Q&A but did not get the answer. Maybe you could help me with another hint please

well, if you have 2 similar pages (2 blogposts) compare the HTML, it will very probably have some inline JavaScript which is slightly different. Try to spot those differences and then try to identify a common string in them and add that common string to the comma-seperated “exclude from JS optimization”-field.
