James,

Thanks. I guess I’ll leave as is for now.

Frank,

Thank you! Got it working with:

define(“AUTOPTIMIZE_LEGACY_MINIFIERS”,”true”);

Now, I’ve got to beat back that render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold …

Frank,

I fixed the CSS code. But when I put the critical css in above-the-fold through Autoptimize, the website comes up blank. In other words, it somehow blocks ALL code from showing.

Here’s the above-the-fold CSS code I’m trying to use:

html,
body,
div,
span,
h1,
h2,
h3,
p,
a,
em,
img,
ins,
center,
ul,
li,
form,
label {
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  vertical-align: baseline;
}

body {
  line-height: 1;
}

h1,
h2,
h3 {
  clear: both;
  font-weight: normal;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
}

a img {
  border: none;
}

#container {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

#content {
  margin: 0 245px 0 20px;
}

#primary {
  float: right;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 220px;
}

body,
input {
  font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif;
}

#access .menu,
#site-title,
.entry-meta,
.entry-title,
.navigation,
.widget-title {
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif;

input[type="submit"] {

}

#access .menu-header,

Never mind … I figure it out. Thanks!

Thank you, works like a charm. As a follow-up question, is there a way to set that 100% width CSS attribute for only SOME of the images, and then invoke that attribute for certain classes of images, but not others?

In other words, I almost always want the 100% width, but occasionally there’s an image with low resolution that I need smaller.

So could I create one CSS attribute for 100% width, and a second that keeps the width/height pixel settings I manually type in the html code in the individual post?

doubledesign,

Thank you. Do I want to throw in height: auto; ?

Like this:

.entry-content img {
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

??

Marked as resolved.

Thank you, Michael! “you would only add the stuff inbetween, but without the actual, <style> and </style>” is so simple even a newbie like me can understand!

Please ignore <textarea> … I didn’t know that would show!

Does it have something to do with the fact that I’ve minified and concatenated my scripts and styles?

Thanks, AJ. Adding jquery.sonar.min.js and deleting lazy-load from exclusions DID in fact work. You are a blackbelt in js!

One more question (or should this be on a separate thread?) Google PageSpeed says I should A. remove certain render-blocking javascripts and B. optimize css delivery of (1) https://www.washingtonsblog.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_bca8259833dc5c5608f3f0874293ee87.css and (2) https://www.washingtonsblog.com/?action=display_custom_css_code .

Is this something I can do via Autoptimize … or do I need another plugin (such as “Above The Fold Optimization”) to do so?

AJ (and Frank),

THANK YOU! This worked like a charm! All best.

Hi Frank, disabling “Optimize JavaScript Code?” restores the images. What’s the next step?

Frank, thanks. But If you look at one of the pages with images – for example, this one: https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/05/much-liberty-americans-left.html – the images show when Autoptimize is deactivated, but disappear when activated.

Mark, THANK YOU!!!
