   Critical CSS.

 * Hi [@paontheweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paontheweb/). Thanks for
   taking Jetpack Boost for a spin!
 * Based on the error message you have received, it looks like Boost is getting 
   confused by the URL [https://www.wewhoserved.com/user-list-item](https://www.wewhoserved.com/user-list-item)
   redirecting to your homepage. That page was added to your site by the plugin “
   UsersWP”.
 * We will aim to include a fix for this issue in a future release of Jetpack Boost;
   we would like to ensure that Boost works alongside other plugins without issue.

 * I am comfortable with editing wordpress files but not with understanding the 
   code. When I added the code you sent to the wp-config.php the website throws 
   a 500 error.
 * There appears to be a syntax error on this line:
 * $uwp_settings = get_option( 'uwp_settings' );
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@paontheweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paontheweb/) ,
 * Thank you for trying out the suggestion and sorry it created the error 500. Did
   you add the code at the very bottom of your wp-config.php file? It should come
   after the `require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php' );` line as WordPress needs
   to be fully loaded before it can make use of that code snippet.
 * Best,
    David

 * Yes, it was at the very bottom. As previously stated:
    There appears to be a 
   syntax error on this line:
 * $uwp_settings = get_option( ‘uwp_settings’ );
 * That shows up in the cPanel File Manager when you edit the code. There is an 
   X to the left and when you mouse over it then it says Syntax Error.

 * Hi [@paontheweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paontheweb/),
 * Thank you for the feedback and sorry to get back to you late.
 * We are now working on a few range of fixes which should also fix your original
   issue due to an incompatibility with the UsersWP plugin. As a result you will
   not have to make use of the code snippet we provided you and that seems to break
   your system.
 * Best,
    David

 * Hi There! I’m using Elementor, and I’m getting this: (Took out actual domain 
   name)
 * These URLs are redirecting to different pages:
    [https://&#8212](https://&#8212);.
   com/?elementor_library=no [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.com/?elementor_library
   =2 [https://&#8212](https://&#8212);.com/?elementor_library=1 [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.
   com/?elementor_library=testimonial-blue [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.com/?
   elementor_library=default-kit-2 [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.com/?elementor_library
   =default-kit-2-2 [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.com/?elementor_library=coming-
   soon [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.com/?elementor_library=footer [https://&#8211](https://&#8211);.
   com/?elementor_library=default-kit
 * Relative newbie, so would appreciate help with the fix. I’m no genius, but seems
   related to Elementor plugin.
