* How can I exclude a specific html file from minify?
I have a specific plugin
which does not work with minify html enabled.
* Thanks!

* Hi,
* unfortunately there is no such way
* you may need to set HTML minify OFF

* Thank you for your reply [@qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/)!
So do you think it’s a problem in the code that could potentially be fixed to
make minify html work?
* Thanks.

* There must be other reason why this plugin doesn’t work if HTML minify is ON.
To minify HTML only means that line breaks and double spaces are removed. HTML
minify doesn’t change the code.

* Then there is a conflict with the FacetWP plugin when I use it in one case. Where
should I report this?

* There is not a real conflict and nothing has to be reported. You must either
exclude specific requests from being cached or from optimizing. Maybe plugin
support can tell you what exactly has to be done.

* I got this response from FacetWP:
FacetWP uses `` HTML comments
to detect the post loop and add a facetwp-template class. HTML minification removes
that HTML comment causing the issue.
* If it is the same issue, the fix would be to not use HTML minification, or to
add the facetwp-template class manually, as described in above link.
Or, if
Lite Speed Cache provides a way, exclude HTML comments from being removed.
* Maybe Litespeed could avoid removing ``?
* Thanks.

* This is not good if detection is done with comments because removing comments
is also part of HTML minify. In this case you can’t use HTML minify function,
but this is not a bug or a malfunction of the cache plugin. Minifying HTML always
removes comments and is like a “standard”. Maybe plugin support has any idea
to add a filter that prevents removing of comments.
* Maker of this plugin should find any other solution for detection, because each
plugin for optimization works like LiteSpeed cache plugin if it has a function
for HTML minify.

* Hi,
* well , there isn’t really any “filter” or “exclude”
* but I will advice our devs for such case

* Thanks!
* I got it solved by adding a css-class manually.
* From the facetwp devs:
_Maybe LiteSpeed Cache developers could consider adding
a hook to (a) prevent comments from getting stripped, or (b) whitelist specific
comment tags. FacetWP’s automatic query detection on WP archive pages and pages
with custom queries requires the HTML comment for the frontend Javascript to
add the “facetwp-template” class. But you can easily circumvent this by adding
the facetwp-template class manually to the div around your loop. You can then
use HTML minification.
