Well in the end I think it may have been a flook that the minify setting being turned off caused the problem to go away… because it’s back. The site seems to be working just fine but Google gets an error and refuses to index the page
Well I’ve gotten one step closer to discovering what is causing this… Under W3 Total Cache > General Setting If I uncheck the box “Minify: Enable” the problem goes away. So it has something to do with the default minify settings.
I’ll keep poking around to see what I can figure out… any & all ideas are appreciated!
