After WordPress update all content is gone

  • First off, this is a great plugin. I use in on all my websites! Thanks for all your time and investment into it!

    As to my issue: I updated to the latest WordPress yesterday and all of my content was invisible (but only on screens less that 767px…strange) and none of my js was working. My header, footer, etc. were still visible, but the actual content itself was invisible. For a long time I racked my brain as to what the issue was and when I deactivated the Autoptimize plugin, my website worked like normal but my Google Pagespeed score is no longer good. :-/

    Any suggestions as to what the issue may be?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, I would clear all caches (Autoptimize but also your page caching plugin) and try again for starters?

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I have alread tried this. My website is https://ahavideos.com if you would like to take look. I currently have your plugin active and you will notice none of the conent is there. If you were to shrink the size of you browser window (to a mobile size) all the content appears…

    However, while the content appears in the mobile size, none of my js works (i.e., for smooth scrolling). And in the mobile size, when I click on the menu icon, the menu does not appear.

    The WordPress core update as such was harmless, as far as AO goes, so this probably means that some other things (plugins or theme) were updated as well.

    Start disabling JS optimization and see what difference that makes (as you’re using visual composer, a lot of the rendering is done through JS). Once we know that, we can decide on the next steps.

    Unfortunately, no. ?? I have disabled the JS optimization feature in the AO plugin, and the site seems to work without issue. So I know 100% it is a JS issue. I started to exclude specific scripts to see if the issue is due to a single script, but was not able to go very far as I had to catch a flight out of town for the weekend.

    However, I’m still perplexed as my website functioned seamlessly for months until I updated my WordPress and theme, which has Visual Composer bundled with it.

    Any other suggestions before I continue to go through and try to exclude every script within AO?

    Thanks again for you help!

    well, the theme update is much more likely to have caused this regression than the wp core update, at theme’s can have a lot of (changed) JS in them

    some misc. pointers regarding JS optimization troubleshooting:
    * while testing always look at your browsers console/ error log
    * see what “force JS in head” and/ or “look only in head” does
    * try excluding jquery.js
    * as your theme (might) be to blame; see what excluding “themes/Total/js/” does (that’s your parent theme, right?)

    enjoy the hunt! ??

    Thanks for the tips Frank!!

    As to you fourth idea, is there a way to exclude the entire JS directory from my parent theme? Or do I need to add the names of the JS individually to the exclude list?

    “themes/Total/js/” (without the quotes) should do it.
