incompatibility between the Better WordPress Minify plugin and Themify framework

    We’ve found an incompatibility between the Better WordPress Minify plugin and the Themify framework.

    We have a network install of WordPress and BWP Minify is network activated.

    For styles created in the Themify Builder, themify creates site specific style sheets, which for us have a path like ‘http://webserver/sitename/files/themify-css/themify-builder-4-generated.css. Where “4” is the page ID.

    With a network install, each site has a files directory where uploaded media etc. are stored and this is also where Themify writes these site and page specific css files. The path to the style sheet is correct, and the BWP Minify plugin finds it, but when it minifies the styles, it creates a bad path, and leaves out the site information and begins with “files” and leaves out the sitename. This means when we turn on the BWP Minify plugin, those generated.css files are not included because it is a nonexistent path.

    These page specific css files are generated for any page built with the Themify Builder and with many sites we don’t know and also can’t predict what the URLs will be.

    Do you have any idea how to get BWP minify to include these URLs correctly?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello, thanks for your interest in BWP Minify.

    So sitename/files/themify-css/themify-builder-4-generated.css is a real path right? The reason sitenam is removed is BWP Minify thinks it is a virtual blog path (which should be removed).

    Perhaps there should be a way to exclude certain asset urls. Any suggestions?

    Yes it is a valid path to a css file and the contents are valid css. The styles are used when minify is off and the link to the style sheet appears in the page source when minify is off. When the css is minified though it strips off the sitename from the URL and starts with “files”.

    It would be best if it got minified. Perhaps a condition to use the sitename in a path that does not reside in wp-content or wp-includes.
