Sorry, I deleted the email along with the plugin.

Sorry, no can do.

As I said above, I un-installed it.

Thanks @webtemyk it’s all quite simple when it’s pointed out to you, but I still feel the right documentation would help lots of people out.

Just got my homepage, with lots of images, image menu links, around 30 plugins and WP Bakery page builder down to a GTMetrix score of 1.4secs using this system!

Right, I THINK I’ve got it, by using a plugin I’ve got called ‘Age Gate’, which restricts access to pages and posts.

Activated ‘don’t load plugin’ on my homepage, and it still works on my restricted content posts.

So what you’re saying then, is if I go through all the plugins not necessary for the homepage, and enter the ‘don’t load plugin’ parameter, it’ll work for the homepage?

Well that’s fine, and excellent work on that bit, but the problem arises if I then go to my ‘About’ page, and to anyone that’s not read this thread will still see the homepage url in the ‘don’t load plugin’ panel.

So I’m guessing that for the ‘About’ page, I’ll need to click onto the plugin name again, and then onto the gear icon next to the plugin state, and then select ‘and’, and finally /about yes?

Ok, so how do I change (from the above example) /statistics/ to /resources/ ?

You see my problem here?

Disabling a plugin site-wide means I might as well just delete the plugin, yes?

Yes, and this is what I’ve been saying all along.

When disabling the plugin through the asset manager for the statistics page, why does the plugin show as being disabled for all pages, and yet still have /statistics/ in the url?

This is precisely the reason I asked on here first before ‘buggering my website up’.

Now after trying out a few plugins, this one seems to be the one that is most likely to succeed, but the lack of any documentation and instructions for the assets manager totally ruins it.

Hi @phillcoxon

Yes that worked, though I had to follow your instructions in reverse order, as the thumbnail generation test gave another error.

After checking the ‘ovverride’ option though and running the generation test again, all looks good.

Right then, I have no idea what this is going to prove, but here goes:

THIS FIRST SCREENSHOT is of the assets manager as I’ve just disabled the plugin and it’s assets from the /statistics/ page.

THIS SECOND SCREENSHOT is of the assets manager with no further editing or additions at it appears on my /resources/ page, with the plugin still showing as being disabled.

As you will see, both screenshots are identical, but /statistics/ in the first screenshot should now be reading /resources/ in the second screenshot – hence a ‘failure to communicate’ within the assets manager, and an essential reason that documentation is needed!

Ok, so I tried ‘don’t load plugin’ for the ‘Table of Contents’ plugin on my statistics page, and made sure that in the panel below, it actually mentioned /statistics in there.

However then going over to any other page where the ‘Table of Contents’ was being loaded, it was disabled there too, when according to the asset manager’s own ‘logic of disconnection’, it should still be active.

Not sure about the ‘logic of disconnection’ mistake, but I think there’s a ‘failure to communicate’ problem in the assets manager.

Thanks Temyk, but a plugin (especially one like this one) without documentation is like a car without wheels.

What’s a ‘logic of disconnection’ mistake?

All the other plugins in your portfolio are really intuitive and easy to use, but the asset manager would seem to be the white elephant in this pack.

Not sure, and you won’t get any explanation from WP Rocket, but here’s a brief rundown of what happened in the last week. In all scenarios, WP Rocket lazyload is enabled unless stated otherwise:

1) Had problems with my website pre-loader and reached out to LoftLoader to see if they could repair the ‘only load once’ scenario. Fantastic support, but then I noticed that my sticky menu had stopped working and one of my posts had disappeared.

More fiddling about, clearing cache files, and disabling Cloudflare led them to believe that Cloudflare might be the culprit. By now, everything was running perfectly.

2) One day later, I noticed problems on the sticky menu again, plus my image menu for a few blog categories had stopped working and only showed a text menu. This was after I’d just enabled Asset Cleanup, so you can probably see why I wasn’t your greatest fan, and I asked how to disable completely.

Asked LoftLoader which files were removed last time, so that I could do it from my end, rather than having to keep bothering them.

3) Same night, contacted my webhost, who went onto the website and worked out it was the WP Rocket lazyload system, saying ‘it looks a bit buggy’. This got disabled and everything went straight back to normal.

LoftLoader were also informed of this.

4) Contacted WP Rocket to request a fix for the lazyload system, which they managed for the sticky menu, but no effect on the blog image menu, so lazyload was again disabled.

That’s as far as its got so far, and I’m waiting to see what WP Rocket come up with now.

I wasn’t aware that there was a free version of WP Rocket? But yes, I use the premium version with lazyload integrated.

I’ve had issues with the lazyload system before, but my webhost were astounding at working out what the problem was – within 2mins of them going on – so in fact that should have really been the first thing I thought of.

Looking forward to giving this one another go, as the support here seems fantastic!

Just a quick update on this:

After screaming and shouting at a few plugin developers, I got my webhost involved, and they pointed out that it was actually the WP Rocket lazyload system that is at fault and advised disabling it.

WP Rocket are a little reluctant to admit that anything is wrong at their end, but a working website without lazyload cannot lie, can it?

Apologies to all concerned with the development of this plugin, and I might be back for another run.

Well I tried it, and the website seems to still be working, and the results in GTMetrix seem to be going the right way.

However when I tried going over to the ‘Jobs’ page, the visual form builder was still disabled according to the Assets Manager even though I’d only disabled it on the homepage, but the form was still showing.

Is there any DECENT documentation on how this works, not including the present documentation, as all that seems to be is an upsell and how to use assets manager on contact form 7?

Meanwhile, reverted everything back to ‘load plugin and assets’.

Gotcha, so in the above example, I could select ‘don’t load plugin’ for both ‘table of contents’ and ‘visual form builder’, yes?
