Hi,
I am using WordPress 3.5 of course and latest Genesis 1.9 and the enterprise theme on:
I use the W3 Total Cache for optimising and speeding up the site. It was working perfectly until the latest Genesis updates. Now it removes all theme layout and the page looks absolutely terrible.
After much experimentation it turns out is the minify function that is ruining the site. Now with minify turned off the W3 Total Cache again works properly though turning off minify means it isn't quite speeding things up as much.
Any idea what is going wrong with minify and Genesis?
Dale.
Minify is one of the trickiest areas of setting up W3TC. Some JS is already minified. Some CSS breaks when minified. The order in which the files are loaded can also determine whether things work or not. Getting it to work is largely based on experience; that is, if you set up W3TC on a lot of sites, you quickly learn which configurations work and which ones break things for a set of common plugins. Your best bet is to do your minification testing in stages where you minify 1 or 2 things, then test, and if the test passes, try to minify more. If all else fails, you can ask @williejackson on twitter very nicely to give you a few pointers.
FYI, minification is probably one of the least important elements for speeding up a site. I run a network and don't use W3TC and don't do any minification and produce enviable speed that would be hard to match with even a lot of tinkering on W3TC settings. If I were you, I'd focus very little time on minification and more time on converting post/page content to static HTML so you can bypass PHP. That's where the real speed gains are.

Update external files every:

Specify the interval between download and update of external files in the minify cache. Hint: 6 hours is 21600 seconds. 12 hours is 43200 seconds. 24 hours is 86400 seconds.Garbage collection interval:
seconds
If caching to disk, specify how frequently expired cache data is removed. For busy sites, a lower value is best.Never minify the following pages:
Always ignore the specified pages / directories.
Rejected user agents:
Specify user agents that will never receive minified content.
Any ideas ?
Kind Regards
@edgardo - Your best bet is posting this question in the plugin's support forum on the WP repo. It will get more exposure there. If the basic button functionality of your WP site isn't working, that might be a JS conflict, so you'll want to get that sorted out before trying to resolve W3TC configuration. If all else fails, Frederick Townes (the plugin dev) does offer a paid configuration service that's pretty affordable. You can reach him on Twitter @w3edge
