WPML CSS Getting Skipped – Not excluded

Do you have a link to share (here or via futtta-at-gmail-dot-com) where I could have a quick look lutechi?

Hello Frank,

The beta version worked!

Awesome, thanks again ??

glad it works lutechi!

quick recap for other people who would read this; the problem was that autoptimize 1.9.2 (current version now, april 2015) does not always succeed in capturing all CSS/JS. 1.9.3 (which is to be released soon now) changes that and lutechi installed that beta.

I’m experiencing the same thing here, with Autoptimize 2.0.0. The path for the WPML CSS file is somewhat different though:

/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/css/A.language-selector.css,qv=3.3.6.pagespeed.cf.GvOp5VMKrL.css

I’m guessing the file name is diffusing for Autoptimize.

Hello Jonathan,

After awhile I decided I did not needed the CSS from WPML because it was so minimal in my case that I put the following function in the function.php file of my child theme to dequeue the WPML CSS and any CSS needed I just added to my theme:

define('ICL_DONT_LOAD_LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_CSS', true);

Here are other JS or CSS you can disable from WPML:

Hopefully that might help you if is like my case.

Hi lutechi, thanks for the tip! I tried it out but it pretty much screwed up the language drop-down selector. ?? I’ll wait and see if Frank can work his magic on this (as usual).

/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/css/A.language-selector.css,qv=3.3.6.pagespeed.cf.GvOp5VMKrL.css

you seem to be running pagespeed, which means AO might not be able to read that file from the filesystem. can you try if AO picks up the file with pagespeed disabled?

Hi Frank, tried it but with no luck. Here’s the current path (without PageSpeed):

/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/css/language-selector.css?v=3.3.6

Another weird thing is that I’m using a plugin to remove all query strings, but it doesn’t remove the query strings for the WPML CSS. WPML seems to be up to no good here.

/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/css/language-selector.css?v=3.3.6

and domains match?

it’s not impossible WPML is injecting this link using the output buffer, which could cause both AO & “remove query strings” not to see it …

I solved this now by removing the WPML CSS, as proposed by lutechi, and copying the WPML CSS content into the “above the fold” option in Autoptimize. Not the fanciest of solutions, but it works. So for me this is now resolved.
