 * I installed autoptimize and checked the Optimize CSS Code box. Now a navigation
   menu at the bottom of the page appears. When I uncheck Optimize CSS Code box,
   the menu goes away.
 * Thanks,
    Tony

   Tony?

 * I contacted GeneratePress support and added the CSS file to the exclusion list.
   This corrected the issue reported above, but I also have an issue with icons 
   on a contact form when I activated Autoptimize – I’m using Happy Forms. I don’t
   have time to troubleshoot this issue any more at this time, so I have disabled
   Optimizing CSS for now.

 * So it works when “inline & defer CSS” is off but “optimize CSS” is on Tony (can’t
   check as the URL you have in the original topic is behind basic authentication)?

 * I have temporarily removed the login requirement for the site. I checked ‘Optimize
   CSS’ and added the CSS file to the exclusion list again. This resolved the navigation
   bar at the bottom of the window. However, the formatting for the contact forms
   is now off. You can check the Join Our Team page to see what I am referring to.

 * OK, can you try adding `/plugins/happyforms-upgrade/` to the comma-separated 
   CSS optimization exclusion field?

 * Ok. That resolved the contact form issue. I found another while continuing to
   test. For mobile, when I touch menu, the menu appears but without the green background
   color, so the menu blends in with the webpage, making it difficult to see the
   menu.

 * Can you try disabling “also aggregate inline CSS” for that Tony?

 * That change resolved the contact forms issue. I’ll continue to test as configured
   now and hopefully will not find any more issues. Thanks for your help!
