 * My site has massive issues with W3 issues. It disturbs my page structure and 
   I guess disables my CSS.
 * Under general settings tab when I set minify mode to auto it disturbs my theme.
   When i set it to manual it gets rid of minificatin, but the problems with the
   layout disappear.

 * Hello [@primos04](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primos04/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Can you please
   re-enable minify, and disable the settings in Performance>minify one by one (
   HTML minify, JS minify, CSS minify) and see which one might be causing the issue.
   Make sure to save all settings and purge the cache after each option is disabled.
   Also, I can see that you are also using cloudflare. Please make sure that Cloudflare
   minify is disabled to avoid any potential conflict with W3TC minify feature. 
   Thanks!

 * Hello [@primos04](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primos04/)
 * What you are referring to is the General settings section.
    On the left side 
   of your dashboard, there is a W3TC section called Performance. You should select
   the advanced Minify settings in Performance>Minify as shown in the screenshot
   below and disable the settings one by one (HTML minify, JS minify, CSS minify)
   and see which one might be causing the issue. Make sure to save all settings 
   and purge the cache after each option is disabled. Thanks! [](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/G2OeBwd.png?ssl=1)

 * Hello [@primos04](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primos04/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    Have you confirmed that Cloudflare Minify is 
   not enabled? It seems like either there is a conflict with some other minify 
   solution, or some files need to be excluded from the minify. You can also try
   Manual Minify and add the field to minify manually and in order. Please check
   out the [article about Manual minify](https://www.boldgrid.com/support/w3-total-cache/how-to-use-manual-minify-for-css-and-js/).
   I hope this helps! Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * yes, cloudflare minification is disabled, I confirmed with my hosting provider.
   I guess i will try the manual variant.

 * Hello [@primos04](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primos04/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    As I’ve mentioned before, there is a chance that
   some files need to be excluded from CSS/JS minify. You may test the auto minify
   again and check the console for any errors. If you are getting 404 for minified
   JS, make sure to check if the .htaccess files have the W3TC minify rules and 
   check the /wp-content/cache/minify/ folder if the files are cached. Thanks!
