Title: Autoptimize Last modified: June 3, 2019 --- # Autoptimize * [beatcore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beatcore/) * (@beatcore) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-10/) * Hi there, * i got a problem with the instagram plugin and “Autoptimize”: * When i let Autoptimize optimize JS (merge JS) the plugin stops working (only a loading icon appears). I’ve already excluded the two scripts sb-instagram.min. js, sb-instagram.js in the Autoptimize Options, but it’s still not working. I’ve also excluded the js/jquery/jquery.js and the migrate of jquery – still not working. I have to disable all JS Options to see the Instagram Posts… * I found just one half-baked solution… * + Merge JS in combination with + Inline JS * …but with these two options together the cache of Autoptimize is growing way to fast and i have to manually clean it every 2nd day, which is kinda odd. * Is there any other solution to be able to merge JS and have a working Instagram Feed? * Thank you in advance, regards Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Contributor [Craig at Smash Balloon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craig-at-smash-balloon/) * (@craig-at-smash-balloon) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-10/#post-11599518) * Hey beatcore, * Typically our plugin works just fine with autoptomize and the default settings. Can I take a look at a page that is having the issue? I can let you know what might be going on then. * Thanks! * Craig * Thread Starter [beatcore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beatcore/) * (@beatcore) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-10/#post-11809954) * Do you have a private Email i can send you the link to?

We have an update coming in September that will drastically change how the plugin works. It’s possible this won’t be an issue then (you won’t need to exclude any files). * If you’d like, we have a version of the update we have been giving others to test.
