Never posted before – EVER but…Theme not in love

No, the problem is probably that, as you custom input is inline, it takes precedence, but when aggregating it, that higher weight gets lost. What I would try to do is add an “!important” indicator to the custom CSS.

Regarding JS optimization (which is the combination of aggregation and minifying); you’ll have to be a bit more specific I’m afraid. What doesn’t work? Any plugins you’re using which are broken when JS optimization is on? Did you try with “force in head” and/or “look only in head”?

step one, i’ll try this Frank…

@font-face {
font-family: “Handlee”;
src: url(“https://mysite.com/fonts/handlee.eot”);
src: url(“https://mysite.com/fonts/handlee.eot?#iefix”) format(“embedded-opentype”),
url(“https://mysite.com/fonts/handlee.woff”) format(“woff”),
url(“https://mysite.com/fonts/handlee.ttf”) format(“truetype”),
url(“https://mysite.com/fonts/handlee.svg#fontname”) format(“svg”);
}
body {
font-family: “Handlee”, handlee regular, redress, sans-serif !important;
}

I have tried all variable selection of the js options nothing works for me in regards to this issue. However tests show that the CSS compression is working well so I will keep your plugin going on my wp for that alone. I have left a review, my first ever for this plugin.

As update: still working on calling out font. It appears my knowledge as a novice may be overstated.

I may have to upload the desired font to my ftp/wp-theme area, although the font is a selected font from my theme.

……….

I found a small plugin that had 2 options for minify css and js. The css did not work as well on tests for my site as yours. But for some reason the js was shown to be minified/compressed.

Certain it is an issue that relates to one of my plugins interaction with another. You just cant have this much code floating around and not a tiny problem somewhere ??

regarding fonts: some browsers (FF & IE for sure) will block font-files being loaded from other domains by default (except when the font gets sent with Access-Control-Allow-Origin *), guess that is why you’re considering uploading the fonts to your own site.

regarding js: did you experiment with the “exclude from js optimization”-option. not always easy, but it’s rare one cannot get JS optimization working that way.

I have done a variety of select options for selecting JS option;

Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

on a white screen. as soon as i uncheck the js button the color in theme menu comes back but i am still looking into the font issue.

my theme provider said i shouldnt have to load my font to ftp as the font is in theme. telling me to utilize “ttf” extension for all browsers in my code.

as far as excluding, i have not tried that. this is advanced settings. there appears to be items in there:

s_sid,smowtion_size,sc_project,WAU_,wau_add,comment-form-quicktags,edToolbar,ch_client,nonce,post_id

i am not at all sure how i would enter info. would i just type the word font?

excluding would mostly be interesting for JS, and won’t affect the font-problem. but if you have the output buffer error when doing JS optimization, the problem is you’re using something else for JS optimization and that is conflicting. disable other JS minifiers when doing JS optimization and report back what happens then.

feel free to give me the URL to your site, for me to have a quick look at what’s happening.

Thank you Frank, I’ll troubleshoot that today and let you know what I find out!

With your complete description here I was able to return this information to the designer of my wp theme. They have determined that there was an issue in their application of a slider system. Not sure when the code rewrite/update will be some…so I am going to follow through with all your suggestions and read through all your information.

I truly appreciate the in depth response. Not the telling but the teaching. If this works, by all means, a paid plugin for me!

I will keep you updated…

Optimize JavaScript Code? yes
Add try-catch wrapping? yes
checked these boxes, disabled the wp super minify for JS
and recvd error
Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

Unchecked the Optimize Javascript Code box (as well as the catch wrapping)….kept the WP minify disabled.

Ran test …
RESULTS
* Minifying https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/themes/vxxx/js/jquery.flexslider.js could save 4.4KiB (39% reduction) after compression.

Enabled the Compress Javascript button on WP Super Minify

I passed this info on to the theme architects and this along with your insight I shared, has shown them there is an updated need to the slider system. Your response and aid has proven valuable and is appreciated.

The font issue has been resolved also based on info you have given me. And is working well in all venue of compression/minfying and optimization…No issues at all with custom css !

Happy to report, overall. I will update this thread when the new changes have taken place to the JS for theme slider.

Again…many thanks!
