# Formatting changes not reflected while Autoptimize is active

 * I made some formatting changes on Woocommerce product pages (Active background
   colour on menu items in UAE Elementor Navigation widget). These are not reflected
   in the front end when Autoptimize is active. When it is disabled, they display
   correctly.
 * I have tried switching off all Autoptimize’s functions while still active, to
   no avail. I have deleted the is_Product Critical CSS rule. That did not work 
   either.
 * Do you have any other suggestions for troubleshooting?
 * Many thanks.

 * First and foremost try to identify what is breaking things by just disabling 
   CSS or JS or HTML or Image optimization (incl. lazyload). Based on that we can
   see what the next steps need to be 🙂

 * Dang. It turned out to be “Remove query strings from static resources” that was
   causing it. I was not expecting that.
 * Thanks!
