Unloading assets in Oxygen

    Hey Gabe!

    Saw that you just added:

    “Oxygen plugin edit mode: Allow Asset CleanUp Pro to trigger plugin & CSS/JS unload rules when the page editor is on to make the editor load faster via define(‘WPACU_LOAD_ON_OXYGEN_BUILDER_EDIT’, true); that can be set in wp-config.php”

    To confirm, this only follows whatever you were already unloading on the front-end, correct?

    I don’t know if this is something you’d consider, but it’d be really awesome if you had a feature to unload the assets from just the Oxygen editor specifically. A lot of times chat widgets, popups etc can get in the way, but you don’t necessarily want to unload them from the actual front-end.

    Would love to hear your thoughts ??

    Thanks!

    @sunnyt13 it just applies the unloading rules while you’re on edit mode (using the query string ct_builder=true). There’s no feature to unload assets from the Oxygen editor specifically as the demand is very low and it might not be as easy to implement it, thus such as feature is not on the horizon at this time, but I will definitely consider it if there are more requests. Now, let’s see how the current one will work out and if people will like it. Some people really have lots of plugins and any unloading in any page would help, including Oxygen’s visual page builder.

    I’ve written a special post explaining exactly how this feature works, hopefully, it’s understandable enough (let me know if it isn’t): https://www.assetcleanup.com/docs/asset-cleanup-oxygen-visual-site-builder/

    Hey @gabelivan, that post helps clarify a lot. I hadn’t realized this was done through the RegEx option. It looks like this actually would provide the functionality I was looking for in my initial post.

    On that note, is seems that you can only really use this feature if you’re running the Pro version? Am I correct on that?

    @sunnyt13 the RegEx option as well as unloading whole plugins via “Plugins Manager” is available for the Pro users. As for Lite ones, only the CSS/JS unloading would be taken into consideration (e.g. good when you have a conflict between the editor JS with one loading from a plugin/theme and you wish to unload that JS file and keep the editor as clean as possible).

    However, as is explained in the post, it’s recommended to use the option when you really have to (e.g. very slow editor or file conflicts preventing it from working). Fortunately, conflicts are rare, and the feature mostly addresses plugin unloads which sometimes have lots of DB queries & slow functions.
