 * I am using pro version of asset cleanup. I have unloaded, deferred some of the
   CSS and JS and clicked on UPDATE button. But the rules aren’t getting applied.
   They didn’t got updated. I can see the files that I have deferred and unloaded
   are showing the defer option unchecked ( similarly for unload ).

 * [@aravind21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aravind21/) on which page are
   you doing this? Is it within edit post/page area or “Manage CSS/JS” within “CSS&
   JS Manager”? There’s a post that was just published about why there are incomplete
   fields being submitted. Perhaps the same thing applies to your setup: [https://www.assetcleanup.com/docs/sometimes-data-is-not-saving-after-submitting-a-form-why/](https://www.assetcleanup.com/docs/sometimes-data-is-not-saving-after-submitting-a-form-why/)–
   can you check it out and increase max_input_vars if it has a low value?

 * Thank you. It worked!
    I was actually doing this on the frontend, it simply didn’t
   get applied. When I tried it from “CSS & JS Manager”, I got same error “the link
   you follow has expired”. Changing the value of max_input_vars to 3000, solved
   the problem.
