Marko,

Very sorry I missed your earlier reply. Okay, Gutenberg, future of WordPress and all that…. Anything you can point me to so that I can troubleshoot?

Best regards,
Josepf

We are NOT using rewrite rules because of CloudFlare.

Site is WP Core 5.7.3

Done. Your suggestion, as usual, was spot on. Tech team was using that technique to make it easier to deploy DEV environments. Keeping URLs relative. That was in effect blinding AO. Commenting it out solves the problem. Appreciate the assist Frank!

I guess progress of a sort. I completely wiped all rules again, put CloudFlare into DEV mode to by-pass cache, and let CriticalCSS rebuild rules.

Have these Auto:
is_front_page ccss_0f8ae60e1953f8a99a624aad34df538b.css
is_single
is_page
template-blank.php
is_paged
template-scholarships.php
template-homepage.php ccss_958ec7c5225daf555b72c12a66494fd1.css

In Dev Tools am seeing wp-content/cache/autoptimize/autoptimize_8d45dda549da5c5a763a8fc12825da7e.php
But, cannot tell if that relates to is_front-page or template-homepage.php

Am still seeing the other theme css showing up though. Have not commented out wp-content-url yet, am going to do that on DEV.cyber-security.degree <– saw domain there was bound to production. Cleared everything out, waiting for that to rebuild.

I do have Fetch Original CSS as Checked. Should I disable that?

Hi Frank,

I do have “Auto” rules for the various templates and tags like is_page. And Out of precaution, I had removed all rules and let Critical rebuild after making the CSS change.

The only exceptions are: wp-content/cache/, wp-content/uploads/, admin-bar.min.css, dashicons.min.css

As to URLs, ‘maybe’ our set-up in wp-config?
//Relative URLs for swapping across app service deployment slots
define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://&#8217;. $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://&#8217;. $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);
define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘/wp-content’);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
define( ‘ABSPATH’, dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/’ );
}

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

@geminilabs 5.1.6 did the trick. Many thanks for all of the hard work! We’re migrating this site to Linux early next month. So tired of issues with WordPress on IIS ??

Tossing it over to the Developer. His belief is that plugin is not enqueueing properly. Because,
A) Deleted the plugin
B) Put Cloudflare in development mode caching disabled.
C) Deleted CriticalCSS rules
D) Put exceptions for the JS into Autoptimize so it would not minify, defer, etc.
E) Cleared all AO cache again and checked that CCSS rules for page were still deleted
F) Reinstalled plugin from ZIP
G) Triple checked all cache clear between CloudFlare & Autoptimize.
H) Reactivated Plugin.
I) Still getting the ?ver=5.5.1 reference on both JS & CSS elements of your plugin.

now onto steps (jk), and the inside jk for me is that Friday has become Monday somehow ??

Will have the Developers do a deeper dive on Monday — we’re fighting a bigger fire at the moment on a different site.

Thanks for the help so far.

Is correct. Going to FLush all cache again. delete the CriticalCSS rules, etc. will let you know in a couple of minutes

Great will check out 5.0.2 and no, not caching WP-Admin….

Adding to this, Error Message: “Your site doesn’t include support for the “site-reviews/form” block. You can leave this block intact or remove it entirely.

Within Plugin Admin itself: Settings, Tools, Help all render blank pages
WP 5.5.1 — everything up-to-date

Frank! We figured it out. When I get to Ghent, I’ll buy you a beer and tell you…..

Thanks Frank, tossed it over to the Dev Team to install. Will let you know.

Hi Frank, after you get in, will set up a couple test Manual Rules. Was trying to set up for major sections (page templates or post templates) that use the same CSS. A couple of questions. A) Assume that if a manual rule is in place, that url based rules for items using that TAG will not be created? and B) Do I need to delete existing by url Auto rules?

Here are the sections for Conditional TAGS:
post_name meta_value
/colleges/by-major/agriculture-general page-college-by-major.php
/colleges/by-state page-college-by-state.php
/colleges/harvard-university/reviews page-college-reviews.php
/admissions-advice/how-important-are-standardized-test-scores-compared-to-other-pieces-of-the-application page-expert-admissions-advice.php
/scholarships/our-scholarships page-our-scholarships.php
/scholarships/athletic page-scholarship-group.php
/scholarships/athletic/baseball-scholarships page-scholarship-sub-group.php
/colleges/yale-university/reviews/what-should-every-freshman-at-your-school-know-before-they-start single-college-review-question.php
/colleges/montclair-state-university single-college.php
/scholarships/our-scholarships/superpower-scholarship single-our-scholarship.php

Also, (working on the side with the MVP) I added a number of Conditional Tags, based on Page Templates. The CSS used is identical per Page Template so do not need at the individual page/url level. Correct? These have all POOF disappeared. How is this supposed to work? The site is around 130K pages…. And 11 Page Templates cover about 90% of the site.

Hi Frank,

good catch. So, with the base Autoptimize, you have to manually click off/on to refresh criticalcss? Kinda makes sense, but, should maybe be re-generated if someone deletes whole cache.

As to PowerUp, the page rules/files all keep off of or import the base Autoptimize? And if so, how are you tailoring the crisitalcss to be page specific?

many thanks!
Josepf
