 * The update from 1.3.3.1 to 1.3.3.2 deactivated my .js files, crashing the website.
   I deactivated the plugin and the website successfully restored functionality.
 * I am using Asset CleanUp for a couple of months and this is my first such experience.
 * Thank you,
    Andrei

 * @andrei0luca Thank you for raising this ticket and hopefully this is an isolated
   case as the plugin is reported to work fine on other WordPress installs. Can 
   you re-enable the plugin with “Test Mode” (this way the website will be ‘crashed’
   only for you) and let me know what JS files are unloaded? What other optimization
   plugins are you using besides Asset CleanUp?

 * Hi Gabe,
 * The problem seems to be the plugin **jQuery Updater** 3.4.1. Asset CleanUp 1.3.3.2
   does not return any errors when deactivating jQuery Updater.
 * I can provide you more info if needed.

 * @andrei0luca If that’s the case, then it’s likely jQuery library is somehow unloaded
   and triggers a cascading unload effect on other files depending on it.
 * I’ve made tests with jQuery Updater 3.4.1 and everything is perfectly fine on
   my end in all situations. Have you marked jQuery Migrate for Site-Wide Unload?
   I’d like to know more about it, definitely!
 * Also, I’d like to know the reason why you have chosen to use jQuery Updater.

 * Hi Gabe,
 * That is correct. jQuery Migrate was unloaded in Asset CleanUp and that was causing
   the problem. But it was also unloaded in 1.3.3.1 and did not cause any issues.
 * I am using jQuery Updater because my paid theme is (a little) old and loading
   an old jQuery version. So it’s a solution for having jQuery up to date.

 * Hi, Andrei!
 * I made further tests and it looks like the reason why it worked before was the
   fact that jQuery Migrate was not unloaded IF you were using jQuery Updater plugin.
   The unload was working and the actual code that performs the unload was added**
   IF** jQuery Migrate was loaded by the WordPress itself (not a plugin that alters
   the load functionality).
 * So, it looks like your theme needs jQuery Migrate (latest version) which was 
   loaded after all (_still a bug because if you mark jQuery Migrate for unload 
   in Asset CleanUp, it should unload it in any situation, even if jQuery Updater
   or any other plugin is used_). It’s enough to check the console and if you have
   red JS errors after JQuery Migrate is unloaded, then it’s better to keep it. 
   After all, we’re talking about loading an extra 7KB here (smaller than the original
   jQuery Migrate from the WordPress core which is ~10KB), an insignificant price
   to pay for having maximum compatibility between your theme scripts and latest
   jQuery version.
 * Does that help? Please let me know if after checking the console and further 
   testing you find anything else.
 * PS: Thanks for reporting this! I made a few changes that will make sure jQuery
   and jQuery Migrate will remain in the WordPress Core list that you see when managing
   the assets to avoid confusions of the files being unorganized because jQuery 
   Updater loads different versions of the file. If you will ever be interested 
   in Asset CleanUp Pro, I can give you a hefty discount as a thank you for alerting
   me about jQuery Updater and the way it works.
 * Thanks,
    Gabe

 * Hi Gabe,
 * Yes, your explanation does help because it is very thorough and clear. After 
   further testing at this point Asset CleanUp 1.3.3.2 is working without problems.
 * I selected Asset CleanUp as my only optimization plugin so I will definitely 
   go Pro.
 * Thank you,
    Andrei
