 * Hi all,
 * After activating Autoptimize CSS optimisation the site is broken.
 * A screenshot of the issue: [http://demo.spiraalplaatsen.nl/Schermafbeelding%202017-05-31%20om%2009.46.55.png](http://demo.spiraalplaatsen.nl/Schermafbeelding%202017-05-31%20om%2009.46.55.png).
 * The CSS seems to be optimized as normal. However the site is not shown as it 
   should be.
 * Do you know why this issue occurs?
 * Best regards,
 * Borgert

 * Hi Frank,
 * I excluded `wp-content/themes/brisp_theme/style.css` It works like a charm!
    
   For the double check I removed `wp-content/themes/brisp_theme/style.css`, but
   the lay-out did not break. Do you know why?

 * err .. no, not really … to be honest I was you had to exclude that file anyhow,
   so I’d say it’s normal it works without excluding it 🙂
