 * Hey,
    I’ve just installed your plugin – it looks great from the screenshots. 
   The problem is that when I activate it 2 of my other sidebar widgets just disappear.
 * If you go to this page for example:
    [http://99bitcoins.com/accessing-dark-net-under-minutes-beginners-guide/](http://99bitcoins.com/accessing-dark-net-under-minutes-beginners-guide/)
 * There is the opt-in widget in the sidebar and the Bitcoin ticker. Both disappear
   the moment I activate your plugin.
 * I really would like to use this plugin so I’d appreciate any support possible.
   
   Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Could you activate the review plugin so I could investigate this issue? Sorry
   for the late reply but I was out of town. 🙂

 * I’ve enabled it on my staging environment here:

 * You can see how the website should look like in production here:

 * Hi,
 * That’s really weird. It’s like a shot in the dark – try to deactivate the CSS
   minified and try it again after that. 🙂

 * Deactivate Autoptimize plugin. 🙂

 * Hehe, I’m glad it’s working now. These issue are normal with CSS/JS optimizer
   plugin. Please mark this thread as resolved and also please consider leaving 
   a review. 🙂

 * Quickly chiming in here; I’m Autoptimize’s developer. Instead of bluntly disabling
   Autoptimize, you can also configure it to not aggregate certain JS or CSS. There’s
   information [in the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/) on how
   you can do that.
 * Have fun,
    frank
