# Autoptimize doesn’t exclude shiftnav

 * There seems to be a conflict between Shiftnav and Autoptimize when JS optimization
   is turned on. I excluded “seal.js, js/jquery/jquery.js, shiftnav.js, shiftnav.
   min.js, Gruntfile.js, admin.settings.js, admin.menu.js” however, shiftnav still
   doesn’t function (menu doesn’t open when pressed). Could you please help me? 
   Any suggestions on how to fix it?

 * OK, what JS-errors do you see in your browser console?
 * also; you’re currently (also) using something else to optimize JS, creating /
   wp-content/uploads/f85bb50999ed201391d23306b5f37af1.js. if that other plugin 
   runs before AO does, AO doesn’t see the exclusions you’ve listed above, so make
   sure to disable that other plugin when using AO for JS minification.

 * ah, possibly related; you have a JS error on the console;
 * > SyntaxError: expected expression, got ‘<‘ jquery.custom.js:1
 * the reason being that `wp-content/themes/village/jscript/jquery.custom.js` shows
   a “not found”-page (HTML instead of JS).

 * Thanks Frank! You’re the man with such a quick response. Didn’t think about other
   plugin interfering. I disabled the WP Hummingbird and Speed Booster Pack to check
   whether both of them were causing errors. However, everything started working
   only when I disabled the WP Hummingbird plugin.

 * WP Hummingbird does similar things as AO, using multiple minifying plugins concurrently
   can indeed cause problems (they’re a jealous bunch 😉 )
 * have a nice weekend,
