Manual Minify not removing original files

  • Using W3TotalCache version 0.9.2.11, whenever I setup Minify with Manual mode it works fine to create the minified/combined file- however it still leaves the original sources in the code therefore defeating the entire purpose of combining the files to reduce server requests.

    For some reason it works fine with “Auto” mode.

    Does this for both JS and CSS, all other plugins disabled and on TwentyEleven theme.

    ISSUE FOUND. I believe the problem only happens when using a SUBDOMAIN.

    I tested on a Vanilla WP install using a regular domain (mysite.com)..everything worked fine. Tested on a Vanilla WP install using subdomain (dev.mysite.com) and there we have it, original references to CSS and JS remain.

    Confirmed this on 2 separate servers, a VPS & Shared environments.

    I’ve just found a temporary solution: you must enter the ENTIRE URL for the CSS / JS file including the version number (eg: https://www.yoursite.com/directory/style.css?ver=3.5.1).

    Obviously in the future you will have to update each line with whatever WP version you are on, but at least for now we have a fix!
