 * After the last plugin update, I think 5.7.8. some parts of the web frontend were
   not showing. With the 5.7.10 update it didn’t freeze either. Thanks to the advice
   of the Siteground user support team (my hosting), I deactivated options until
   I found the one that created the conflict: Cover optimization tab / Minimize 
   JavaScript files. If I leave it off, everything looks fine. The website uses 
   woocommerce and the Divi theme from Elegant Themes.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fminimize-javascript-files%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey there [@efeonce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/efeonce/),
 * Could you provide information about what items are not showing when using the
   JS Minification?
    You can use the exclude functionality if you want to exclude
   specific JS Script from being minified by adding it to the list. When you enable
   the optimization an Exclude Script from minifying will be available under it.
   You would just have to select the scripts that you don’t want to be minified.
 * Kind regards,
    Stoyan

 * Hi Stoyan, the items that were not displayed when minifying Javascript were 1:
   full width slider in home, 2: a product carousel from the YITH WooCommerce Product
   Slider Carousel page and 3: the product tabs created with Divi’s Theme builder.
   On my own I will find out how to use the exclusion functionality of specific 
   JS scripts. Thank you.

 * Hey [@efeonce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/efeonce/)
 * I have excluded one of the js files and everything works now.
 * Please enable the JS modification and check if everything is ok.

 * Hey Stamir, I have enabled the JS minification option again and with the exclusions
   that you have done now it works perfectly, nothing has been broken. Thank you
   very much, good job. 😉
