Combining js files screws up other js loading

Hello @opajaap,

Thank you for your response. ProfileGrid only enqueues its own plugin JS files, not those of third-party plugins. Could you please check the issue again after deactivating all other plugins on the site, except for ProfileGrid?

If the issue persists, we will need the site information details from “Tools >> Site Health” in the dashboard to investigate further.

The simple way to show the issue:

– Start with a virgin wp installation.
– Install plugins https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/ and ProfileGrid, both in their default configuration.
– Go to the home page.
– Inspect the page source e.g. by CTRL+U in firefox
– Locate the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://betatest.opajaap.nl/wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/js/wppa.js?ver=dummy" id="wppa-js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" id="wppa-js-after">
/* <![CDATA[ */
const { __ } = wp.i18n;

wppaSiteUrl = "https://betatest.opajaap.nl",
wppaThumbPageSize = 100,
wppaResizeEndDelay = 200,
wppaScrollEndDelay = 500,
_wppaTextDelay = 800,
wppaEasingSlide = "swing",
wppaEasingLightbox = "easeOutCubic",
wppaEasingPopup = "easeOutElastic",
wppaUploadButtonText = "Browse...",
wppaOvlBigBrowse = false,
...
etc.

– Now set …>global settings -> Tools -> Performance -> Combine js and save it

– go back to the home page
– Inspect the page source e.g. by CTRL+U in firefox

– See that the code as shown above is vanished, leading to a bunch of js errors and malfunctioning of the wppa plugin.
