Fix to: W3 Total Cache minify may break WordPress plug-ins, theme or whole website

By

 

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this screen and you’ll see the backup / restore facility:

 

W3 Total Cache General Settings Export Settings

 

Now press the Download button and voilà you have your W3 Total Cache configuration stored on your computer as .php file.

In case of major screwup you may come back to this screen and import the saved configuration or even reset the configuration to factory settings.

 

Step 2: Disable automatic Javascript minification

Scroll up this same window you just have used to create a configuration backup. Close to the beginning, there’s a “Minify” section. Make sure it looks like the following screenshot:

 

W3 Total Cache Settings Minify

 

The most important option to set is: “Minify mode: Manual”. Once you are done, don’t forget to press the “Save all settings” button!

You are currently in the Performance | General Settings menu. Now you have to click the left WordPress menu again and go to Performance | Minify. You’ll be greeted by a window similar to the following:

 

W3 Total Cache Show Minify Wizard

 

Press the Help button indicated by the red arrow on the screenshot above.

    Hi great tutorial!! But I have a problem following your instruction… When I open the Minify:helpWizard I have no showing files. It says:JavaScript: No files found.Cascading Style Sheets: No files found.Am I missing something ??? Thank you for your support!!

    I’m not certain about the other settings in the minify section. Expecially the different options of where to put the files (i.e. before closing head tag) and whether to defer or use async or another option. Could any of those cause a page to break?

    You need to go to the Minify Page from the plugin sidebar. Navigation is pretty unclear, since it calls in the same way pages that are different.
