ob_start and HTML minifying error

    I encountered a problem with another plug-in (‘Fast Velocity Minify’), but caused by AIO SEO. You can see the thread here.

    Basically, it is – with AIO SEO Force Rewrite set to ‘on’ and HTML Minifying set to enable on the other plug-in – that AIO prints a line saying ‘ob_start_detected’ (no tags around it).
    That’s in itself right, as FVM uses ‘ob_start’ in the minifying function. However, it gives an error in validating the html with “Stray end tag ‘head’” and “‘body’ start tag seen, but element of the same type was already open”.

    The page renders OK, but I hate having validating errors. When I just empty the string that’s echoed, everything is OK, incl. rewriting of the Page Title, as far as I can see.

    So the question is: is it really needed that string is printed?

    If I understand it right, ‘Force Rewrite’ targets the TITLE if it may be overwritten by the theme or another plug-in. But that’s not what FVM does, it only minifies HTML.
