Plugin / Better WordPress Minify

Changelog

1.3.3

* Fixed an issue with wrong `min/config.php` file.

1.3.2

* Marked as WordPress 4.0 compatible
* When updating BWP Minify, friendly minify url should be turned off automatically if required rewrite rules are not found. An appropriate error message will be shown once to notify owners of the site so that they can take appropriate actions.
* When friendly minify url is enabled, rewrite rules for both Apache and Nginx will be shown. This is to add support for Nginx as a reverse proxy.
* Fixed a bug that makes the detector fail to commit logs, which results in empty enqueued file lists.
* Other minor fixes and enhancements.
* BWP Minify now requires WordPress 3.1.0 or later.

1.3.1

• Enhancements
  • Added an option to leave external enqueued files at their original positions.
  • Added compatibility for Maintenance plugin (BWP Minify will be inactive when Maintenance mode is on).
  • Improved settings on Manage enqueued files admin page to allow better control over enqueued files. Take a look at this updated section of official documentation for more details.
  • Improved friendly minify url feature to work better with cache plugins: friendly urls should show up on first load.
• Bugs fixed
  • Fixed an issue where CDN hosts don’t replace the original host properly
  • Fixed an issue with SSL on wp-login.php page

Important Note: After updating to 1.3.1, users of Simple Google Maps Short Code plugin (or similar ones) and Avada theme should go to BWP Minify > General Options and turn on Leave external files at their original positions? setting to make map shortcodes work.

1.3.0

• New Features
  • Added support for Friendly Minify strings, e.g. http://example.com/path/to/script.js (best used with CDN). This feature should work well on nginx server.
  • Provides a much better method to capture and print JS, CSS files.
  • Dependencies are more intelligently handled. This should fix many incompatibility issues with other plugins. Note: users of Leaflet Map Markers plugin will still need to add leafletmapsmarker handle to Script to be ignored (not minified).
  • Provides full support for conditional and alternate CSS files.
  • Auto-detects CSS, JS files used on site. Added a new admin page to easily add CSS, JS files to desired positions.
  • Added a new position called oblivion, admin can put CSS, JS files to this position to remove them completely from the site, this is useful when you want to remove duplicate files.
  • You can now control Minify Library’s settings via wp-admin setting page.
  • Basic CDN support with SSL.
• Bugs fixed
  • Fixed issues with certain installations where WordPress is installed into a sub-directory or wp-content folder is moved.
  • Fixed incompatibility issues with protocol-relative URLs.
  • Fixed possible incompatibility issues with forced-SSL URLs.
  • Other minor fixes.
• Enhancements
  • BWP Minify is WordPress 3.9 compatible.
  • BWP Minify should now be able to handle very late JS, CSS files that are queued/printed directly using wp_print_scripts and wp_print_styles.
  • Changed Minify URL setting to contain a relative URL (from site root) instead of an absolute URL. This should be useful when switching between staging and live site, or between mirror sites.
  • Changed Minify strings’ default length to 10 to avoid errors on certain servers. Users are encouraged to increase/decrease the length when needed, or enable Pretty Minify String instead.
  • Disable Minify bloginfo() setting by default. Modern themes should always use the enqueue system for any stylesheet.
  • admin-bar, jquery-core, and jquery-migrate are now ignored by default.
  • admin-bar and dashicon are now ignored by default
  • Changed default cache age to 1 day instead of 2 hours.
  • Users can now use BWP_MINIFY_CACHE_DIR and BWP_MINIFY_MIN_PATH constants to override the Cache Directory and Min Path setting in admin. This can become useful when mirroring a site.
  • Other minor enhancements.
• Misc
  • Added a Serbo-Croatian translation – Thanks to Borisa Djuraskovic!
  • Added an Indonesian translation – Thanks to Nasrulhaq Muiz!
  • Added a Russian translation – Thanks to Эдуард Валеев!

Migration from 1.2.x

• Minify URL setting has been replaced with Minify Path setting and you will have to manually update this setting if you’re using a non-default one. Note to Developers: the setting’s key has been changed from input_minurl to input_minpath. The hook bwp_minify_min_dir is still available but deprecated in favor of bwp_minify_min_path
• Minify Path setting and Cache Directory setting are now default to empty value, which means they’re automatically detected.

Enjoy this release, and please don’t forget to rate BWP Minify 5 shining stars if you like it, thanks!
