* Hello,
* I’m working on setting up your plugin on this site:
* [http://dev.mycareertopia.com/](http://dev.mycareertopia.com/)
* Initially it worked great, the total number of Javascript and CSS files went
from 80 (!) to 24, with smaller size. However, only Chrome was loading the site
correctly. Firefox, Opera, and IE were showing missing styling and text on the
home page. After some troubleshooting, it looks like if I set the number of minify
strings per file to only 4 or above, then Firefox will not style the home page.
I have it set to 4 right now so that you can see. It looks like Opera, IE, and
Chrome all work fine at 4, but Firefox shows missing styling unless I change
that setting to 3.
* Do you know what I can do in order to get that number higher? I’d like to go
back to 24 requests, most of the other ones are third party sites that I can’t
control but it’s a great savings.
* Thanks

* That is one weird issue. Maybe you want to try version 1.3.0-beta out?
* [https://github.com/OddOneOut/Better-WordPress-Minify/archive/1.3.0.zip](https://github.com/OddOneOut/Better-WordPress-Minify/archive/1.3.0.zip)
* You just need to use FTP to remove old plugin folder and replace with 1.3.0.

* It looks like Firefox will now work with 4 files, but not 5 or more.
* I’m still looking into this. Let me know if I can help debug anything.

* I will need a temp admin account to test BWP Minify settings, and I assume that
you have installed 1.3.0?
* I’m viewing the site with Firefox and it seems to look fine (4 files per string).

I did install the beta version you linked to. It does work correctly with 4 files
now, although it stops working in Firefox at 5. So, that’s one better than the
previous version.

* Hi, I’ve managed to trace down the two CSS files that are causing issue:
* 1. dt-custom.less wp-content/uploads/wp-less/dt-the7/css/custom-8aff9937cd.css
2. dt-royalslider wp-content/themes/dt-the7/royalslider/royalslider.css
* When those two files are combined and printed above these two lines:
* ```
```
* they break either the header or the slider. The first one `t-custom.less` seems
to break the header while `dt-royalslider` seems to break the testimonial slider.
* I’ve put them into `print separately` list and your site looks ok now (you can
play with the max files per string if you want, but I tested with 10, 15, 20
and all seem to work). But still I’d love to know what’s wrong with those two
files. Is there anything special about them? The fact that it only breaks in
Firefox is really weird :-/

* Yeah that sounds strange. Those two are theme files, I know that much. I’m a
little removed from the site, I’m a developer helping a friend who actually put
the site together. I’ll probably notify the theme developers to take a look at
this thread and see if they have any information. Thanks for looking into it.

* Hi there,
* I’ve used this plugin for a while (it’s great), but I’ve also started to get
no display of stylesheets in Firefox only (Chrome, IE, Safari, etc. work fine).
* I’ve disabled BWP on the live site, but I’ve got an _exact_ copy of the site
here:
[http://backlinko.staging.wpengine.com/](http://backlinko.staging.wpengine.com/)
* And if you view it in (say) Chrome, you’ll see the stylesheet has an effect (
site looks normal) but if you view in Firefox, it’s a white page with no styling.
* I’ve tried all sorts of things (including downloading the release candidate you
posted further up this thread) but the error persists. I’ve also minified each
stylesheet separately, but this also hasn’t helped.
* Looking at the site I’ve linked to, can you see any reason why it’s breaking?
* One thing of note is that if I right-click and do “Inspect Element” in Firefox,
and make *any* edit to the stylesheet (type a random character anywhere), suddenly
the whole stylesheet appears and the site displays perfectly.. Which is odd..
* Thanks if advance, if you’re able to offer any advice.

* Do you have Firebug installed? What happen if you inspect element with Firebug
and make edit to stylesheet?
* Also right now your staging site seems to be broken for all browsers, I see links
to bwp-minify are coming from `http://ultra.backlinko.staging.wpengine.com` and
that domain doesn’t seem to be accessible.
* Is your Site Address (home_url) `http://ultra.backlinko.staging.wpengine.com`?

* Hi,
* The staging site 100% works.
* The real site (not worth looking at for this problem) is [http://backlinko.com](http://backlinko.com)
* The staging site is: [http://backlinko.staging.wpengine.com](http://backlinko.staging.wpengine.com)
* When I make any edits (Firefox), the stylesheet appears – but before then, the
site has no style.
* It works in every other browser.
* (Thanks!)

* Okay I managed to get to ultra.backlinko.staging.wpengine.com. Can you create
a temporary admin account on that site for me? Credentials can be sent to contact(
at)betterwp.net.
* Oh and by Firebug I mean Firefox’s debug extension, since I’m assuming that you’re
using Firefox’s default Inspect Element.

* Hi there,
* How strange!
* What’s your email address? The site is very high traffic, so it definitely can’t
be activated on the live site (admin only sounds perfect).
* I will check with the site owner before creating you an admin account.
* Also, I was using “Inspect Element” yes. Sorry, I didn’t get you there.
* Thanks a lot for your help so far – really appreciated.
* Cheers,
Lloyd
