Title: Exclude JS script not working Last modified: January 18, 2021 --- # Exclude JS script not working * Resolved [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/) * (@antflora) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/) * Hello, * I am trying to exclude a script from being optimized, however, it is not being excluded. I have added the following to the exclude field in the settings: wp- content/plugins/product-delivery-date-for-woocommerce-lite/js/ * The script is used to select a delivery date, with x number of prep hours. The delivery date is not being calculated correctly, however, after manually deleted autoptimize cache the delivery dates are calculated correctly. * Can you assist with this? * Thanks.

The next available delivery date should be today + 48 hours. So for example if its Monday the next available delivery date should be Wednesday. However, this 48 hour period is not being calculated correctly. For example on Tuesday it will display next available delivery date as Wednesday instead of Thrusday. Once I delete autoptimize cache manually it will correctly display the next available date as Thursday. Here is the a link where the delivery date could be found: [https://florasent.com/flowers/meadow-fresh/](https://florasent.com/flowers/meadow-fresh/) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13925686) * OK, had a look at the HTML source and the product-delivery-date-for-woocommerce- lite JS files are there so the exclusion as such works, but as they are not minified AO minifies them. You can stop that by unticking the “also minify excluded CSS/ JS files” option, at which point you should see product-delivery-date-for-woocommerce- lite/js/ in the HTML source again. Can you do so to test if this fixes things? * Thread Starter [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/) * (@antflora) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13930599) * Will untick and report back, need to wait for 24 hours to see if it updates correctly. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13931000) * if 24 hours then the issue is likely with a nonce being cached by page caching having expired antflora, see e.g. [https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/975-nonces-and-cache-lifespan](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/975-nonces-and-cache-lifespan) for info on that subject. * Thread Starter [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/) * (@antflora) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13940806) * sorry for the late reply. I should clarify, the reason I said 24 hours is because the script updates the next available delivery date based on today’s date. I need to wait until its the next day to make see if the available delivery date is calculated correctly. - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/). * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13941282) * OK, so with “minify excluded CSS/ JS” off, does the problem still occur? * Thread Starter [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/) * (@antflora) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-js-script-not-working-2/#post-13946676) * Yes, the problem still occurs.

I have excluded the product pages from being cached in Cache Enabler and the issue is resolved. * Thanks for your help! - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [antflora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antflora/).
