Great find Frank, thank you. That was it… the missing } in that CSS file! Everything is styled correctly now as you can see here https://masteeldev.wpengine.com/corten-b/. In retrospect, an Aggregate-Only option in Autoptimize probably wouldn’t have helped here since the missing } would cause the same issue once the CSS files were aggregated. Thanks very much for taking the time to find the problem.

Hi, sure of course. I have 2 versions of the site, one with Autoptimize enabled and one without it so you can see the difference.

Autoptimize disabled (Live site): https://masteel.co.uk/corten-b/
Autoptimize enabled (Dev site): https://masteeldev.wpengine.com/corten-b/

Notice the “category” link at the top — “Weathering Steel”. On the Dev site, it’s not styled correctly – it’s a red square with red lettering. There are some styles targeting that element with this selector: .single-post-header-wrapper.dt-parallax-bg>.container .post-categories a. On the Live site with Autoptimize disabled, the styles are in this CSS file: https://45ztdn1v6vav4dfbpaephc01-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/themes/patrai/css/blog-single.css?ver=1.1. On the Dev site, the styles kick in once the screen width is <= 479px due to the media query, but this style on the Live site (in the original CSS file) isn’t in a media query so should be applied at all times. P.S. if you search for that CSS selector on the Live site in that CSS file I linked to, it has spaces before and after the > which get removed in the minification (this is of course normal, bringing it up just in case you search and don’t immediately find it).

Thanks in advance for taking a look.

Regards,
Ben

Hello @roselldk, after installing the latest version 0.17.2 and configuring it as shown here, I’m seeing some WebP images, however the main site PNG logo is broken. Trying to pull up the logo PNG directly, I get this message Validation failed for settings: Redirection to conversion script is not enabled which led me to this thread. I don’t see any WebP Express settings related to Redirection or “Enable redirection to converter”. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Thank you.

Great tip @lucasscarvalho, I found code in the theme functions.php file that looks related. It’s essentially the same code that’s on this page https://scanwp.net/blog/remove-core-theme-plugin-updates/.

I will test removing that code but am setting up a staging environment so in case removing the code does enable updates, I can test actual Core and Plugin updates while making sure the site doesn’t break.
