* On our checkout page, we have every box checked in the Asset CleanUp Options
panel to disable it on that page. However the version number is being appended
to a payment gateway script which causes the gateway to break.
* When the plugin is active the script tag is output as
* ``
* When the plugin is completely disabled site-wide, the tag is output as
* ``
* Is it possible to disable this behavior? Unfortunately that difference is enough
to break the gateway. The plugin in question is [https://www.skyverge.com/product/woocommerce-authorize-net-cim/](https://www.skyverge.com/product/woocommerce-authorize-net-cim/)

* [@madjax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madjax/) I have a suspicion this
is not an Asset CleanUp thing because there’s no option to string query strings
from static resources. Moreover, external scripts like this one (not on the same
domain where your WordPress installation is) are also ignored from any optimization
such as minify/combine. I need to actually view the page where you have this
problem. If you’re comfortable with sharing the URL here, please do so. Otherwise,
please fill the following form to share it privately: [https://www.gabelivan.com/contact/](https://www.gabelivan.com/contact/)
* Also, consider appending /?wpacu_no_load to the page where the JS file loads (
I assume it’s the cart or checkout page). This would deactivate the loading of
Asset CleanUp and the page will show as if it’s deactivated. Then, append /?wpacu_no_cache(
or any query string that is unique and not common) and check the difference.

* Thanks [@gabelivan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) – dropped
a link in your contact form.
* I also tried your suggestion and the result is, when
* appending /?wpacu_no_load => no version number appended
* append /?wpacu_no_cache => version number appended

* [@madjax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madjax/) thanks for the update!
I need to investigate that particular plugin as well and check how that JS file
is actually loading. I’ll check the files you sent and do my best to come with
a solution even if the page is not set to ignore Asset CleanUp from loading.
I still find it odd that just by appending that query string to the URL it messes
things up. It should work 100% anyway, perhaps there’s something else to it.
* To anyone reading this that has the same problem, Asset CleanUp can be deactivated
on specific pages such as /checkout/ which are more sensitive to changes so to
say. Please check this post explaining to you what needs to be done: [https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-to-exclude-the-plugin-from-loading-on-certain-pages/](https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-to-exclude-the-plugin-from-loading-on-certain-pages/)

* [@gabelivan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) thanks for the replies.
* I believe it’s a security feature with Authorize.net to ensure that the right
JS is loaded. SkyVerge said
* “the error that you are receiving is:
* Please include Accept.js library from cdn.
* This error can sometimes occur when there are optimization plugins the are removing
query strings or altering the loading of the Authorize.net JavaScript calls on
the Checkout page.”

* [@madjax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madjax/) Indeed, `?ver=5.5.1` (
or whatever the value of $wp_version is) is appended to the asset’s URL by Asset
CleanUp if it was set to null. I’ve released a patch that would fix this and
you can get it from the development version of Asset CleanUp: [https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-to-get-the-development-version-of-asset-cleanup/](https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-to-get-the-development-version-of-asset-cleanup/)–
this path will obviously be added to the next tag release, whenever this will
happen, hopefully as soon as possible. Meanwhile, you should be fine with the
development version 😉
* As a thank you for raising this ticket which was proven to be an issue with the
plugin: I can offer you a 40% discount for the Pro version if you will ever be
interested in it or I can extend the current Pro license if you already have
one 😉 Just let me know if/whenever you will be interested.
