Version 1.7.0: features & your help needed

Ding-ding-ding, last call!

I think we’re almost there; I just uploaded the last modifications to WordPress’ SVN in trunk. My goal is to push this out early next week.

I would really appreciate it if you guys could download the most recent beta and give that a spin, playing with options and stuff. Could you? Pretty please?

Hi,

Just tried the last beta and it works perfectly for me. The new wording for “Save aggregated script/css as static files?” is much clearer and the Show/Hide advanced settings is a nice addition. Fantastic plugin!

Oh, I noticed that the index.html in autoptimize/classes/external mentions your other plugin: WP YouTube Lyte ??

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback chelmilapipas!

And thanks for reporting Lyte was hiding out in the index.html’s, I just expelled it from there ??

@futtta It is WORKS ??

Version 1.7 is also working fine for me ??

Using:

• HTML Optimization
• CSS Optimization
• JavaScript Optimization
• JavaScript exclusion
• noptimize-Tags
• Static aggregated script/css files

Great work, thank you very much!

Hi,

Testing 1.7.0. Broke 3 plugins on Internet Explorer 7 & 8 (worked fine before on Autopmitize 1.6.6). No problems on IE 9, 10 & 11 as well as latest versions of Firefox. I hate IE but I need to support minimum IE 7.

1 out of the 3 plugins (a paid premium “image lazyload” plugin), I’ve decided to delete as it’s worth more trouble. For now, I won’t report the issue with the premium paid plugin to keep this issue report simple.

HOWEVER, I need these to play nicely with Autopmitize 1.7.0 on IE 7 & 8.

Two key plugins:

1. jQuery Colorbox ver. 4.6
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jquery-colorbox/

It’s like a Lightbox plugin (click on thumbnail > larger image is shown in a pop-up box). The effect no longer works on IE 7 & 8 on my site. But OK in higher IE 9, 10 & 11.

2. WP YouTube Lyte ver. 1.3.2
Actually, it works fine on IE 7 & 8 as long as I enable/check this setting in Autopmitize 1.7.0: “Add try-catch wrapping?”

PREVIOUSLY, WP YouTube Lyte worked fine in IE 7 & WITHOUT having to enable “Add try-catch wrapping” in Autopmitize 1.6.6. If I don’t “check” the box, WP YouTube Lyte video doesn’t appear. Blank.

Not really a bug as there’s as there’s a workaround… but thought you should know – RE: your plugin WP YouTube Lyte. Maybe the minor problem is with WP YouTube Lyte and not Autopmitize.

Anyway, thanks for maintaining the plugin. It’s awesome! I was using WP Minify last month but jumped ship to Autopmitize. Got better results with Autopmitize! Hoorah!

hi fruityoaty ??

I guess the updated optimizer components are to blame, can you try with this line in your wp-config.php;

define("AUTOPTIMIZE_LEGACY_MINIFIERS","true");

this will trigger the old components and will (I presume) fix these issues.

Hi!

Whoah, that was a fast response. OK, added that line to my wp-config.php. Emptied Autopmitize cache before testing pages on IE 7 & 8.

Unfortunately, jQuery Colorbox effect still doesn’t work. I love this plugin. It’s the only plugin among many I tested that fully works with NextGen Gallery on my site without major hiccups.

And I can get WP YouTube Lyte to work on IE 7 & 8 as long as I enable “Add try-catch wrapping” in Autopmitize 1.7.0. Otherwise, the video won’t appear.

OK, bye for now. ??

so just to make sure; the “AUTOPTIMIZE_LEGACY_MINIFIERS” don’t change a thing, same problem with and without that (somewhat hidden) setting?

SAME problem (with and without the somewhat hidden setting).

jQuery Colorbox still doesn’t work on IE 7 & 8 even with that wp-config edit.

Thanks, I’ll look into that.

fruityoaty, a quick additional question: do you have anything in your “js exclusion”-list?

Just this:
s_sid,smowtion_size,sc_project,WAU_,wau_add,comment-form-quicktags,edToolbar,ch_client,nrelate_js

The default settings above + I added “nrelate_js” at the end (nrelate Related Content plugin won’t work if I don’t exclude it).

@fruityoaty; can you test AO 1.7.0 + lyte 1.3.2 on https://futtta.be/wordpress/blog/2012/02/04/wp-youtube-lyte-test/ with IE7 and/or IE8?

Sorry, it took me a while to fully test the issue with jQuery Colorbox v4.6 + Autopmitize v1.7.0 as I’m using several plugins (a lot of enabling/disabling + emptying cache).

Results:
1. PREVIOUS Autopmitize v1.6.6 + Hyper Cache v2.9.1.4 + jQuery Colorbox v4.6 = WORKS (no problems with IE 7 & 8)

2. Autopmitize v1.7.0 + Hyper Cache + jQueryColorbox = NOT WORKING on IE 7 & 8 (+ other plugins broke)
___________________________________

To troubleshoot, I did this:
TEST #1: DISABLED both Autopmitize v1.7.0 + Hyper Cache.
ENABLED jQueryColorbox only
RESULTS: FINE. jQueryColorbox works.

TEST #2:
DISABLED Autopmitize v.1.70.
ENABLED Hyper Cache + jQueryColorbox. Emptied Hyper Cache. Generated new cache
RESULT: FINE, no problems with Hyper Cache output & other plugins on IE 7 & 8

TEST #3:
DISABLED Hyper Cache.
ENABLED Autopmitize v1.7.0 + jQueryColor. Generated new cache.
RESULT: jQueryColorbox doesn’t work on IE 7 & 8

___________________________________
Therefore, the problem with jQuery Colorbox on IE 7 & 8 only seems to happen when Autopmitize 1.7.0 + Hyper Cache are both enabled.

However, this problem did not occur in previous Autopmitize 1.6.6 + Hyper Cache together.

As for WP YouTube Lyte test on your blog, it works on IE 7 & 8.
