Minify destroys my theme as does CDN

  • After installing 0.9.2.8 and enabling minify I get this eror.

    “It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess. Or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the main configuration fail (and that you have reloaded / restarted nginx).”

    This also causes my sites theme to go crazy. So I turned off minify as I could search no easy to follow answer as to what the error is or how to fix it.

    Next I try CDN, get it all set up and it seems to be well till, the sites theme is once again totally screwed.

    Is there something I am missing to allow minify and cdn to work with a theme? Google shows many people complaining of themes being abused, but no real answers as to how to fix the issue.

    I would be greatly appreciative of any and all help to get this issue resolved.

  • spiteful: Did you try viewing the combined source files (javascript or CSS) and that the minify rewrite URLs are in the .htaccess file (Apache)?

    Just wanted to confirm that CDN (Amazon S3 Origin Push) is not working for me either. It looks like W3TC is rewriting theme URLs for me even though I have the “Host theme files” unchecked. I confirmed the setting was being written to the file wp-content/cache/config/master.php as well as wp-content/w3tc-config/master.php:

    'cdn.theme.enable' => false,

    The reason I think it’s still rewriting theme files is I’m getting errors for files in wp-content/themes/my-parent-theme/images/imagename.png as well as wp-content/plugins/slidedeck2-personal/lenses/... (multiple files) in the chrome console and stuff is breaking. I manually uploaded the parent theme files thinking W3TC couldn’t deal with that specific situation but there was still more stuff broken (slidedeck2) and who knows what else I didn’t find.

    I deleted all the files on S3 and did a “importing attachments into Media Library”, “Upload attachments”, and “Upload includes files” to confirm all the appropriate files were on S3.

    FWIW I also had to stop minifying or combining javascript because BOTH options were breaking some part of the javascript for the site. I have not had a chance to research further but will post when I do.

    Is there documentation somewhere that spells out where the new config files are and how they are used (which file overrides what)?

    Also just wanted to say thank you to the W3TC team. This has been a frustrating release but it’s free software and I get a lot of value out of it as I’m sure others do so thanks again.
