Problem with CSS file

  • Hello,

    there exists a problem with the CSS file. I would like to use W3 Total Cache to minify this CSS (of course) and usually it works well with plugins. But this plugin uses such an URL for the CSS file (I replace the domain and some other values with XXXXX):

    https://www.XXXXX.de//wp-content/themes/xxxxx/multi-column-tag-map/mctagmap.css?mctm_ver=12.0.4

    As you can see there is 1) a double-slash directly after the domain. This is because in your “mctagmap.php” there is this line:

    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="'.home_url('/').substr($mctagmapCSSpath, 1).'/mctagmap.css?mctm_ver='.$mctagmapVersionNumber.'" type="text/css" media="screen" />';

    [Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

    If you change “home_url(‘/’)” to “home_url()” this double-slash gets away – as it has to.

    And you can see this “?mctm_ver=12.0.4” at the end of the URL, which is not necessary. If you change “/mctagmap.css?mctm_ver=’.$mctagmapVersionNumber.” to “/mctagmap.css” it gets away, too.

    This is the solution – but with every update of your plugin I have to make these changes again and again. Could you please fix this issue with an update?

    Regards

    BTW: The same thing with JS-files… :-/ It shows a double-slash, too, due to the fact that “home_url(‘/’)” is used.

    note that by default, home_url() returns without a slash.

    And you can see this “?mctm_ver=12.0.4” at the end of the URL, which is not necessary. If you change “/mctagmap.css?mctm_ver=’.$mctagmapVersionNumber.” to “/mctagmap.css” it gets away, too.

    That’s so I can tell what version someone is using when they come here for a problem. Of course you can remove it or change it. Its an URL variable.

    Thanks for your answer. I just would like to have the option to update this plugin without having to edit the files of the plugin again. So yes, I have already edited the files, so that it works now. But I guess with the next update all changes will be gone again.

    Other plugins do not have this problem of double-slashes, just this one here. So I guess there can be a great solution for the problem without having to edit the files again and again?
