Mistakenly minified the JS! Help please!

Hello

I have mistakenly minified JS and also CSS by using W3 Total Cache. For that the theme’s slider is not swappable and the login doesn’t popup! O am pretty sure that it caused for minifying.

Does anyone knows how to make it like before. Will it help, if I delete all the W3 file and upload the theme again?

Thanks in advance!

go to the w3 Total Cache settings and turn off minify for js and css and it should revert back to the way it was.

Hi

I have done that many time, but that doesnt works.

Norw: i have previously turned on minification on cloudflare, which is currently turned off.

Thanks

Clear the cache.
Delete cache folder.
Replace original css/js files from your install copies.
Clear your browser cache completely.
Hit refresh 2-3 times, close/open browser, or whatever works with your particular browser.

Should work.

I had lots of trouble with W3 cache; not using it. Will be looking at Total Cache since it’s made by WordPress/Automattic. But no other advice from over in these parts.

Hi

Can you please tell me which files and folders i need to delete? And what do you mean by replace orginal ca and js files from install copies?

Give me the link to total cache by automattic to..

Thanks!

you would, via FTP, or hosting/file manager, delete the folder created by W3 cache which has all the cached content in it. (See W3 help for what folders are created; they should be pretty obvious if you look at your site via FTP on regular basis.) e.g.
wp-content/cache

Replace files … simply re-upload all your theme files if you think they were over-written.

As far as I know, W3 doesn’t “change” the theme folders, only serves cached copies. So, in theory, you should not actually need to replace the files in
/wp-content/themes/Newsapaper/

HOWEVER … one item which W3 cache doesn’t fix on deactivation, is cleaning up all the folders it creates in /cache/ and it doesn’t remove the cache “on” line which you would have added in your

/root/wp-config.php

and/or .htaccess file

UPSHOT: if you’re still seeing “cached” copies of content (old versions); you need to disable the caching completely

1) turn off plugin AFTER you clear cache in the plugin
2) delete the /cache/ folder contents wherever it made them
3) check your .htaccess file to remove any “directives” put there by W3 cache
4) check your functions.php file to change cache to “off”

And this presumes you’re making backup copies of everything !

If you’re new to WP, the wonderful repository for wordpress plugins is found at:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/

WP super cache is here
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/

AS EVER: make backups of all your files; images, folders; make backup of dbase from your host/phpmyadmin; make backup of data files from wp admin > tools > export.

TEST anything before committing to it. If something doesn’t work, go back to the one that works from your backups.

Caching apps are tricky to use, and should generally be used ONLY by advanced users.

Thanks a lot! I will let you know if I need anymore help.

Hi

Can you give me a proper url beginner friendly of how to move w3 from wp config and .htacess?

Thanks

• Remove this line from Wp-config file (define(‘WP_CACHE’, true) )

• Check .htaccess file and if you see any code added by w3 remove it

It is usually inserted in a # section above the #wordpress section

The htaccess file is what is used to manage permalinks, and special instructions to the web server.

Usually at
/root/.htaccss

hidden by default; you will need to either set your ftp to filter view and show hidden files; or use the file editor in your hosting panel.

So, there might be a section

# W3CACHE stuff #
blah blah blah
# END #3 CACHE #

(delete the above in .htaccess file …)

Don’t delete .htaccess file completely as that is how the permalinks are able to work.

Good idea to learn to set FTP software to make that visible so you can backup when you do site backups.

Hi Christopher!

I have done all the all things you told me, but that doesn’t fix the problem. Can you please tell me any other ways to make the popup login and slider work?

Thanks!
