Hey guys (@sstoqnov, @hristo-sg) why did you marked this issue as solved?
It is still not solved, a lot of our users still have the problem with the Minify CSS Files option.

Please take a closer look or let us know if there is something we could help you with to resolve it.

Thank you!

Hello @sstoqnov,
Thanks for letting me know, will wait a message from you.

Hey @creativethemeshq

Would it be possible to give an example that is being minified wrong?

Regards,
Stanimir

Hello @sstoqnov,
For example we have a css value like this margin: var(--margin, 0px) with a default value of 0px but when the Minify CSS Files option is enabled it removes the unit and the result turns like this margin: var(--margin, 0), this is bad in some cases when you make calculations with css calc() function.

Let me know if you need more help or info.

Hi @sstoqnov,
Any updates on this?
We have a lot of users that have this issue with your plugin.

Maybe you could dedicated some time to it and add a fix as it’s already 2 months since I reported this bug.

What do you think?

Hello SiteGround,

I have more than twenty WordPress websites hosted with SiteGround and have implemented Blocksy as an excellent site development tool. I’ve had the problem described in this thread with the SG Optimizer plugin causing issues with one of my websites created with Blocksy. Specifically, the SG Optimizer was preventing my website from displaying at full screen width. There is a workaround that involves turning off some of the SG Optimizer functionality, however I’d prefer not to have to tweak these settings every time I use Blocksy for one of my websites.

I really like SG hosting for WordPress and the SG Optimizer provides a great many features that typically require multiple plugins. I really hope this issue can be resolved.

Thank you,
Brian

This is important to me too. Blocksy is the foundation of ALL my current projects, and one of the handful of leading-edge themes attracting most notice right now. I really need this fixed.

(I’m also a huge fan of SiteGround and your truly excellent support — this is the first troubling issue I’ve had. I need to know that SG Optimizer won’t make any breaking changes to my work.)

This is VERY annoying – I’ve got several sites that ALL use this (Amazing!) Theme

I can’t use SG Optimiser Minify CSS on ANY or them!

I’ll try posting a Siteground Support Ticket, as it looks like Siteground aren’t looking here…..

We use a minification service which has to be patched for this to be fixed. Once it’s done we will update the thread. Meanwhile keep the minification OFF. By the way amazing themes have both their CSS already minified.

Hello @hristo-sg,
Do you have an approximated date when this will be fixed?
We need to know what to tell our users.

“By the way amazing themes have both their CSS already minified” – our theme’s CSS is already minified, your plugins minification option breaks the custom properties default values.

I can’t give you an ETA when this will be fixed.

If your theme is minified, ask your theme developers to use min.css extension like they are supposed and it will be automatically skipeed from minification.
