MInify breaks other plug-ins

Hello @kfeuerherm

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
This can be solved in a couple of ways.
The first thing that as you can see from the Uncaught TypeError, the problem is that some file that is minified should be excluded from the Minification or the minify settings are causing the problem in Performance>Minify.
Can you please share the screenshot of the Performance>Minify section?
If you are differing minified files, you can try changing the embed method to default minify. If this does not help, you should exclude the file that is problematic from Minify in Performance>Minify>Advanced>Never Minify following JS files and add the path to that file to the mentioned field.

You can also exclude the entire page from being minified by adding /forum/ to Performance>Minify>Advanced>Never Minify following pages.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the speedy response. Apologies for not being able to get to this until now.

Being relatively new to details, I’d like to take it one step a time, so below I’ve posted the screenshots from Performance > Minify. Once we’re clear on that, happy to move on to the other options!

Hello @kfeuerherm

Thank you for providing the screenshots.
Can you please also share if this issue persists while logged in or logged out?
Pelase enable the option in Performance>Minify>Disable minify for logged in users as you should not be using minification this way.

Make sure to save all settings and purge the cache.
Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!

Hello,

The page which manifests the problem occurs on a ‘members only’ page, meaning, the problematic part of the page is only generated/displayed for logged-in users. I will try your suggestion and see whether this resolves the issue since the problem only occurs for logged in users at present.

I have just checked disabled Minify for logged-in users with “Empty cache” chosen when saving settings. The problem page seems to work fine now!

Two comments, then:

1. Given what you said, does it not make sense to have this option enabled by default upon installation, then? (I doubt I tinkered with this when I installed the plug-in…)
2. What exactly does Minify do? (in general terms)

Thanks very much for your assistance in solving this issue!

Hello @kfeuerherm

Thank you for your feedback.
The expectations are that Minify will be working after the testing and configuration, which means that none of the options in Performance>Minify are enabled by default. So it’s up to user to do the configuration

Minification is the process of minimizing/combining code and markup in your web pages, style, and script files. It’s one of the main methods used to reduce load times and bandwidth usage on websites.

You are most welcome!
