* Hi all,
* Just installed WP-Optimize and enabled minification but this is how css/js is
being added:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* Obviously this isn’t going to work. I had a look through the settings but couldn’t
find anyway to fix this. I assume it’s trying to put the site URL in there but
failing.
Any ideas?
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fminify-causing-incorrect-source-urls%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
to see the link]_

* Under Minify >> CSS , have you got the option to Enable merging of CSS files?
* Under Minify>> Java Script, have you got the option to Enable merging of JavaScript
files checked?

* It doesn’t work wether it is enabled or disabeld.
With out merging enabled:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* I had a look through the PHP in the plugin and worked it out though. WP-Optimize
is using WP_CONTENT_URL (line 39 – class-wp-optimize-minify.php).
WP_CONTENT_URL
=
* ```wp-block-code
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option( 'siteurl' ) . '/wp-content' );
```
* I am using an azure hosted wordpress instance and it has some weird settings
in wp_config by default including siteurl:
* ```wp-block-code
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://'. filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'HTTP_HOST', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
```
* INPUT_SERVER isn’t defined at all by default and I am not sure if this is something
that can be done in the azure portal as I don’t work in infastructure I don’t
have visilibity of it. That being said hardcoded ‘[http://’](http://’);
in the definition of WP_SITEURL sounds very wrong and after doing a google search
it looks like people have ran in to this issue [https://arlanblogs.alvarnet.com/change-http-to-https-in-azure-hosted-wordpress-website-when-option-grayed-out/](https://arlanblogs.alvarnet.com/change-http-to-https-in-azure-hosted-wordpress-website-when-option-grayed-out/)
* I just removed the definition for WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL so that I could edit
these settings within the WP dashboard which fixed the issue. Luckily I have
write access to wp_admin.php.
It’s an issue that only happens to people using
azure app services but it could be fixed by not including WP_CONTENT_URL when
defining WPO_CACHE_MIN_FILES_URL if WP_CONTENT_URL is incorrect.
* Thanks.
