 * Hey there. I’m hoping this is a simple one. If I enable minifying CSS it breaks
   CSS on the site. The pages load as if there is no stylesheet. If I disable minifying
   CSS it works again. I’ve pinpointed the issue to my Theme’s (Vantage Premium)
   style.css file. If I exclude this file from minification all is well.
 * The problem is that one page requires CSS to be minified for it’s page wrapping
   function to work properly so disabling minifying CSS brings the page back but
   breaks the page wrapping.
 * Is there any way I can see why it’s having an issue? I enabled debugging but 
   I’m not sure where to go to read the log or if the errors are just supposed to
   show up on the site.

 * You can try minifying that style.css file separately instead of excluding it,
   choose “Stay at original positions” (it should be “Print separately” actually,
   but a bug introduced in last version).

 * Worked perfectly. Thanks Khang. I’ve been going nuts through the process of elimination
   trying to find out what the cause was.
 * Buying you another cup of coffee right now. 🙂
