One more: JavaScript files to exclude from minify are included in the footer anyway (AND separately).
Damn. Yes, this must be fixed urgently! “Everything in the header” setting does not work. Site is broken with some scripts still in the footer.
@woltis – I wondered if I was the only one seeing this. Thanks for chiming in.
I downgraded to the prior version, since 1.4 is not usable.
@cgamron
Unfortunately I’m not able to switch back to the old version. If I do so, some scripts still appear in the footer area and break my site.
I disabled and deleted V 1.4 and uploaded and installed 1.3.4. I even resetted all settings. No success, all JS-files do not appear in the header, some still remain in the footer (e.g. my lightbox script, which does not work in the footer). I have no idea, why the old version has no effect on the script placement.
The only workaround for me (until this bug is fixed) is to disable JS-compression completely. If I do so, the sites works well again – but with longer loading time.
I hope, that this bug will soon be fixed and the new header/footer option really do what they should.

Please fix this bug as soon as possible!
Hello cgamron,
I made it work on my website with 1.4.
I noticed, that I had all jquery-scripts excluded from minify with the string “jquery” in the field “JavaScript files to exclude from minify”.
After excluding(!) it from there, most scripts work. Now I switched to “Everything in the header” and all seems to be fine.
So maybe check your in- and excluded files.
Having issue with the placement also, no duplicates, but the option to move the JS to footer is not working for me.
