UPDATE:
I managed for some reason to access the dashboard.
Any change of setting that could help? Before I manually uninstall the plug in.
I like the speed increase.

FOR ALL HAVING TROUBLES WITH NEXTGEN GALLERY AND AUTOPTIMIZE theese are the settings that worked for me:

Optimize HTML : enable
Keep HTML comments : enable
Optimize java scripts : enable
Exclude scripts from Autoptimize : add the following to the string:
jquery.js,galleries.gallery,static/slideshow,shutter (in my case shutter as lightbox in NGG )
Optimize CSS code : enable
Save aggregate scripts… : enable

Many Thanks to Frank Goossens for being patient enough to help somebody who is not really competent.
I will leave a positive reviews

THAT DID THE TRICK!!!
I added the “shutter” to the list of jquery to exclude and the commandands are back.
That is what I call technical support!
Now, considering that following your advice I also added:
“jquery.js, galleries.gallery, static/slideshow”
and had all the js options enabled and the keep comments too,
what is your advice regarding how to keep the maximum amount of optimization? remove one by one and check what happens, or there are options to leave active for sure?
I know I am a dumb head, but after all this trouble I am trying to maximize my gain.

Sorry for the mess with the link button

Frank,
thank you very much for your committment to help.
I used the set up suggested.
The Contact form 7 seems to be working fine now. Great relief.
The nextgen gallery used in the “case gallery” page still no improvement:
maybe you want to check how it looks

Is there an image gallery plugin that I can use as an alternative that has been tested with autoptimize? Is not a lot of work to reload the images on the page.
I start thinking it takes more than my actual ability to copy and paste pieces of codes following instructions to troubleshoot this issue.
It is a pity because the site is much faster…

Thanks Frank.
Appreciate the help. knowing that, worse case scenario, I can go back to the website state preoptimization is a relief. I can catch some sleep too!
After all the attempted adjustments I always hit the “clear all cache button” on W3 total cache, where I have activated the “cache pag”e and “cache browser” options. I will be waiting for your advice on how to fix those issues or at least how to go back to pre optimizatin state.

Tried to disable js optimization completely and still no change.
I am using nexgen basic thumbnails, and originally shutter lightbox, but no matter what I do with the settings it just shows a single image with no control buttons and only the options of using the back button on the browser to go back to the page.
Regarding Contact form 7 I can send and receive messages but no attach files: when I try to select the files to be attched it just copies the file name but no the path to locate it.
If I remove the interested plugins and install new ones with similar functionality, recreating a new image gallery on the page, and a new contact form, is it gonna work?
Please do not tell me that after autoptimize I cannot install new plugins or add other functionality to the website?
Sorry for the dumb questions…
I am going to spend the next hours on the FAQ you suggested but seems
optimization is a crazy beast…yous should warn user to use the plugin just if they are experienced developers…

thanks for the prompt reply.
Tried both suggested fix but no luck.
I also lost the ability to attach files in the Contact form 7 plugin
It seems that when compressing html, JS, and Css, something gets lost in the process.
Removing the affected plugins and reinstall them will fix it?

I have a similar problem:
The Galleries title panel has a vertical alignment and when I try to insert a gallery on a page I cannot scroll down to reach the insert button.
Something is wrong with the resolution.
I am on wordpress 4.1
