 * Activating version 2.3.8 completely breaks all of my CSS on my site, previous
   version (with the subject string error) does not do that (but still has the subject
   string error).
 * Update — it seems to be incompatible with Autoptimize and minifying my CSS. It
   wasn’t that way before, but disabling the Autoptimize “Optimize CSS” setting 
   fixes the issue at least for now.

 * Oké I have introduced a new css file for STC handling the treeview of categories.
   This is because we now can have also customized taxonomies to subscribe to. This
   css file you can find at wp-content\plugins\subscribe-to-category\css\stc-tax-
   style.css
 * If there anything in there that breaks Autoptimize “Optimze CSS”?
 * Can you prevent this css from being optimized? Does it also optimize the jsquery
   code in class-stc-subscribe.php if so can you prevent this from being optimized?
   All this to understand what and where it goes wrong

 * I have never optimized JS because it has always caused issues, so I can’t speak
   to that.
 * I just tried excluding “wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-category/css/stc-tax-
   style.css” from my Autoptimize CSS Minification, but it still had the same error
   of bricking all CSS on my site.

 * What happens if you exclude `wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-category/` and/ 
   or untick “also aggregate inline CSS”?

 * I checked the wp-content\plugins\subscribe-to-category\css\stc-tax-style.css 
   for errors and I found an error.
    On line 37 just after the closing comment a‘
   character slipped in. This did not caused a problem when you did not optimized
   the css file. But after optimizing the complete css structure was brokenbecause
   of this error. I found the problem using wp-optimze and with the option ” Inschakelen
   CSS bestanden samenvoegen ” it pointed me in the right direction. I have tested
   the corrected css file with optimization on and it works fine now.
 * A new release will be made available today
