Works fine when aggregate css is off. * Settings are: optimize css on aggregate css on aggregate inline css on generate data off inline and defer on (section blank) inline all css off excluse css from autoptimize: admin-bar.min.css, dashicons.min.css * [rocket.works – Dominik Friedrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rocketworks/) * (@rocketworks) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13155455) * We got exactly the same problem. * It seems autoptimize loads a single css files with the only content of: * `#wpadminbar{display:none}` * That is extremely strange. * As a quick workaround, just add the following css to the Custom CSS in the customizer: * ``` html #wpadminbar { display: block; } ``` * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13156528) * interesting, esp. since AO simply aggregates & minifies existing CSS, it does not have `#wpadminbar{display:none}` in it’s own codebase, so the question is where is that CSS coming from? * and also; are you using “inline & defer CSS” too rocketworks ? * [Ruslan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devprollc/) * (@devprollc) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13156897) * I have same issue on my site, it seems that’s problem with jQuery. Can you fix it please? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13157013) * why do you think it’s a problem with jQuery Ruslan, others in this thread found the problem was with CSS optimization? do you see JavaScript errors on the browser console? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13157263) * OK, anyone experiencing this issue who has “inline & defer CSS” active, another user confirmed unticking “also aggregate inline CSS” is a workaround. please test & confirm if so. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13158775) * OK, this should be fixed in the beta branch, would be great if you could download [https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/archive/beta.zip](https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/archive/beta.zip) and install that instead of 2.7.5 to confirm? * [Ruslan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devprollc/) * (@devprollc) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-admin-blank/#post-13163853) * I can confirm, with 2.7.6 beta on my site all works fine now!
