Minify broke site – possible to undo?

  • Hi all,

    Today I installed w3 Total Cache for my website and accidentally allowed it to auto-minify my .js files. This caused a mess to the site obviously, but is there a way to revert the files to a previous state or restore the site somehow?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Disable minify and then clear all caches to revert the site to normal.

    If you still want to minify certain assets, you can switch to manual mode and specify exactly which files should be combined and minified, and in which order.

    I’ve tried that, even a full uninstall + clearing all caches afterward. The problem still persists. Would replacing any core files help?

    Hard to say without diagnosing the actual site, but you shouldn’t need to replace any core files. Try manually deleting the minified files in the /wp-content/cache/minify/ directory and look through your site’s source code to ensure that none of those files are being referenced.

    It appears the problem was with Cloudflare and perhaps it was retaining the minified files on it’s servers as the site returned to normal once cloudflare was disabled. I’ll have to configure them properly at a later date, but for now the site is back to normal. Thanks for the help @andreslucero ??
