I have the w3 Total cache plugin installed and so far its been great as I’m sure you will all agree, so thanks to the author for an amazing plugin. However, I used the “empty all caches” button on the general settings page and when the plugin is activated none of my stylesheets are loading so the page appears without any styling?
I have to deactivate the plugin for the stylesheets to load. How can I reactivate W3 so that the stylesheets all render properly again?
W3 Total Cache combines .css files. If you do not want this to happen, deactivate the option on the page
wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_minify, section CSSenable.If this option is not available, try setting the
minifysettings on the main page of W3 Total Cache tomanual.This Caching Plugin is awesome – but you have to tweak the settings quite a bit, if you are new to it mostly through trial and error, to get to the best result.
Please be sure to check your page a few times after you finished your settings, and also check it in logged-out mode, I had a few problems with sites being processed right on their first call, but broken afterwards.
A really tricky thing is the javascript-combining and minifying – if you are not 100% sure what you are doing, it can make your site a mess. But if you do – hello PageSpeed 🙂
