 * Hi.
 * I’m new to WordPress development, so apologies in advance. Relevant links are
   at the end.
 * We have developed a WP plugin to make it easy for bloggers to utilise our service.
   It is working okay in a handful of places, but breaks on a site with W3TC. We’re
   in email contact with the non-technical site owner, trying to diagnose it and
   sort it out.
 * I can see that a JavaScript error in a combined and minified .js resource is 
   preventing our js routines from executing. What is double-wierd is that after
   updating our plugin, the combined and minified .js contains the earlier, out-
   of-date variants.
 * I don’t yet know whether it’s our .js breaking things once processed, or if it’s
   other plugin script being bundled / minified in the same server resource, because
   the server isn’t sending the much-more-solid version that is sitting in the sites
   tibdit plugin directory.
 * You will see from the jsbin linked below that there are a number of .js errors
   and warnings reported, some in our part, most in the subsequent part.
 * Is there any way to easily and temporarily have our plugin .js go around W3TC,
   either in an easy way for the site admin, or by including something in our code?
 * Are there other approaches worth exploring?

 * our plugin js:
    [http://www.haggerston-times.com/wp-content/plugins/tibdit/tib-functions.js](http://www.haggerston-times.com/wp-content/plugins/tibdit/tib-functions.js)
 * it’s served up in

 * Update
 * Next day and W3TC has incorporated our revised .js into the consolidated and 
   minified .js fed to the client.
 * … but still no go, because of a .js error further on in the consolidated file.
   Does W3TC do any sort of linting before putting everything together? Is there
   any way for a plugin author to override W3TC js consolidation for testing?
 * Thanks.

 * another update: Site owner had disabled W3TC and our plugin is working perfectly.
   Obviously this is not acceptable in the long term, but I’d really appreciate 
   some guidance and info here!
