Problem with Minify

Hi there,

The minified files are cached for better performance.

So if you edit files directly, you’ll want to either turn off minify until you’re done with your changes, or press “Reset the minified files” when pushing your changes.

Best,
Marc.

If I may, I have a request:

Could you please add an option to disable cached minified files for admin users? I believe this is how other plugins like Autoptimize do it. That way, it’s possible to view the work done on CSS and JS files while logged in, without having to turn off minification or reset the minified files each time.

It would also be nice to have a refresh minified files button in the wp-admin bar, in the purge all pages drop down.

@jordanwebdev Your first request exists in “Minify > Settings > Disable Minify for logged-in users”

The second is on our todo list.

Nb: For the future, it’s best to open a separate support topic with your questions. This avoids spamming the other users with notification emails with unrelated content ??

@marck Lacroix This is what I meant in my previous post, in this way when I edit a file, it immediately shows the changes on the screen (only for registered users, that is me).

@steve92 You’re talking about editing files and minify, but are sharing a screen of the page caching screen. So I’m a bit confused by your last message?

If you want to see your changes to your child theme’s CSS immediately without having to manually purge the cache, “Serve cached pages to logged in users” should be disabled in the cache section (enabled in your screenshot), and “Minify > Settings > Disable Minify for logged-in users” should be enabled.

@marc I had not explained myself well.
I want to do this: When I make a change to any file, the change must be visible immediately by registered users and visitors.

Hi,

When you’ve finished your changes, OR press “Reset the minified files”, OR “Purge the cahe” and do a “Preload cache” again (that’s what I do, it works fine).

@steve92 There’s no automatic action to do this when you edit themes or plugin files.

After each change, you’ll have to press “Reset the minified files” (which also purges the page cache).

If you’re doing a lot of changes (e.g. if you’re developing / setting up a site), it might be a good idea to disable those features until it’s done.
