Error with Combine CSS files

Hi SiteGround –

I have found a problem with the Combine CSS frontend optimization.

This problem can easily be duplicated if you use my theme – Weaver Xtreme – the theme has tens of thousands of users, so it is not really a lightly used theme.

Weaver Xtreme uses Genericons. They are loaded in the native fonts.min.css file. The .css file includes the genericon files following Genericons standards.

That includes using an @font-face with a url with a . in the URL.
I believe that is the problem.

But to recreate this problem, use Weaver Xtreme on some test site. It is easiest to see the failure of loading the Genericon files if your test site has a main menu that includes submenus. The Genericon down arrow icon is replaced with a garbage symbol.

I can provide you with a test site to see the issue if you wish.

Mostly I think those who use SG Optimizer don’t customize it much – thus you might not see this particular issue. But I had a user set that option, and it is only because I host my theme support site on SG that I was able to figure out the issue.
