 * HI there,
 * I’m trying to install Autoptimize and am using the Shotpimizer theme. WP plug
   in page says ‘not supported’ so I manually downloaded, zipped and installed myself.
   This message appears each time:
 * “autoptimize” has been deactivated, it interferes with site operation and is 
   not supported on WordPress.com.”
 * I have deactivated all current plug ins bar woocommerce, kirki, jetpack and akismet.
   Nothing seems to work. Interestingly, i can see Autoptimizer in Settings>Autoptimizer,
   but when I select this option, I receive
    “Sorry, you are not allowed to access
   this page.”
 * Is there a way around this and are there specific plug-ins I need to be aware
   of that conflict with Autoptimize? I’ve been advised to use this plug in to fix
   some issues I’m having with my site in mobile and tablet view.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Cheers
 * Shan

 * That’s a shame Frank, so I take it wordpress.org will allow it though or is this
   some sort of general WP issue that’s waiting to be resolved? Sorry this is the
   case as I’ve heard such great things about Autoptimize.

 * No, it’s not a general WP issue, it works great generally, it’s just that wordpress.
   com (automattic) does not allow it, so if you want to use AO you’ll have to migrate
   to a more .. flexible hosting company? 😉
