Title: Exclude application/json scripts from minification? Last modified: July 14, 2020 --- # Exclude application/json scripts from minification? * Resolved [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-application-json-scripts-from-minification/) * Hi Raul, * Is there any chance Fast Velocity Minify could exclude `application/json` scripts from the minification process? * WordPress Popular Posts version 5.2 injects a `application/json` script into ` ` that contains a JSON string, for example: * ``` ` tags so I’m hoping you could implement this as well. * Thanks in advance!

It captures the file and it’s dependencies. * Other plugins, they capture the html instead of looking at the $wp_scripts variable, and that’s why they can filter those out. They also use a list of keywords that should not be merged in some situations. * I’ll look into this and for the next update, I should have a solution for this. Thanks for reporting * For now, you would have to add the parent js file to the ignore list, and then the code dependency won’t be merged as well.
