 * Is this supported in the latest version of WordPress? Doesn’t do anything when
   enabled. I’ve cleared all caches, just in case. I only have some of the most 
   common plugins installed: Jetpack, Akismet, etc. What can I do to debug?

 * Yup, works perfectly with the latest release of WordPress. Running 4.7.2 on this
   site for example: [https://www.renegadelife.org/](https://www.renegadelife.org/)(
   notice the source is minified). Are you sure you activated the plugin and look
   in Settings->Minify HTML to be sure it’s Enabled.
 * It’s possible that you’re using some non-standard theme that would prohibit the
   use of Minify HTML, but any properly designed theme shouldn’t cause a problem.
 * I’ll need more details on exactly what website, theme, etc. you are running if
   you still can’t get it working. Basically, I’ll need to duplicate what you’re
   using on my end.

 * What’s the expectation in a well designed theme? I write the theme, so can make
   any changes needed. Does the plugin need wp_head and wp_footer, both of which
   publish a lot of junk so I’ve disabled both.

 * Nope, doesn’t need either of those. Also, you can just disable the junk without
   totally disabling wp_head and wp_footer. For example, using the following in 
   functions.php:
 * remove_action( ‘admin_print_styles’, ‘print_emoji_styles’ );
    remove_action( ‘
   wp_head’, ‘print_emoji_detection_script’, 7 ); remove_action( ‘admin_print_scripts’,‘
   print_emoji_detection_script’ ); remove_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘print_emoji_styles’);
   remove_filter( ‘wp_mail’, ‘wp_staticize_emoji_for_email’ ); remove_filter( ‘the_content_feed’,‘
   wp_staticize_emoji’ ); remove_filter( ‘comment_text_rss’, ‘wp_staticize_emoji’);
   remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’); remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_shortlink_wp_head’);
   remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘feed_links_extra’, 3 ); remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘
   rsd_link’ ); remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wlwmanifest_link’ );
 * Anyway, none of this has anything to do with Minify HTML working or not. It runs
   at the lowest level (on the init action). I’ve never seen a theme that messes
   with the init level (nor should it). The plugin-in is fairly straight-forward.
   Runs on init as long as not is_admin() and minify is turned on.

 * Suggestion given on how to correctly disable features without disabling wp_head
   and wp_footer, which is a terrible idea.
