Evening peripateticfrasmotic;
I don’t know the fourteen colors plugin (I’d be happy to have a look at your site to gather some idea of what is does if you can provide me the URL here or via futtta-at-gmail-dot-com), but I assume its CSS is added inline (in the HTML). In that case you might try to exclude that block of CSS from being optimized, by identifying a unique string in the CSS and adding it to the comma-seperated list of exclusions on the AO admin-page.
Hope this helps,
frank
Thanks Frank – I’m trying to use this set-up on a couple of sites, but the (first) one is http://www.mattandhelengallagher.com.
Currently set with a twenty-fourten child theme (primarily changing colors), fourteen colors plugin (because the child theme seemed unabel to change some of the colors on its own – though I’ve since discovered this is down to CSS specificity, so I may amend the child theme and ditch the plugin eventually), and automptimize plugin on – but only optimizing html.
I have other plugins installed, but (at this stage) they don’t seem to be involved.
Grateful for any suggestions / insights.
Well, I would start by trying to exclude the inline CSS generated by the “fourteen colors” plugin, adding e.g. “Custom Contrast Color” to the comma-separated list with CSS excludes. Can you give that a try?
Yep that seems to solve it – tested and working on two different sites. Thank you!
