 * I just started to use Elementor.
    But somehow as long as the Section “Optimize
   JavaScript” is activated – the animated Widgets of Elementor won’t work.
 * These JavaScrips are causing the problem ( shown in the DevConsole)
    backbone.
   marionette.js backbone.radio.min.js dialog.min.js common.min.js waypoints.min.
   js frontend.min.js
 * Solution’s i’ve tried:
    – Turning On and Off every Setting in “Optimize JavaScript”–
   Excluding the JavaScrips above – Excluding the complete Elementor Folder ( wp-
   content/plugins/elementor/ )
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-elementor-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * some feedback;
    1. what are the exact errors being shown (you only listed the
   files)? 2. make sure to disable WPFC’s minification when using AO, as using 2
   plugins to minify can cause conflicts (you can keep on using WPFC as page cache
   off course) 3. you might need to disable the minification of excluded javascript
   with below code snippet (this will be an option in [the upcoming AO25](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/announcing-autoptimize-2-5/));
 *     ```
       add_filter('autoptimize_filter_js_minify_excluded','__return_false');
       ```

 * Im so confused right now.
    I’ve tried it again and somehow it works now – i again
   disabled Try-Catch-Block and it works … If i enable “Try-Catch-Block” theres 
   shown 1 Error: `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input autoptimize_4d01405f2291989bddb766ce1be4da2e.
   js:23`
 * If i disable it, everything works fine.
 * I doublechecked if my WPFC also minify’s my CSS and JS and indeed it did. But
   for now theres no difference between it being enabled or disabled ….
 * But i would like to turn “Try-Catch-Block” on because without my page speed has
   only a score of 87 ( before it hat 95-97)

 * they fact that your pagespeed score is better with try/catch on is pure luck,
   as try/catch is really only meant to be used in case of problems and [is in fact known to slow your page’s performance down](https://blog.futtta.be/2014/08/18/when-should-you-trycatch-javascript/).
 * regarding using WPFC minify & AO at the same time; it _can_ work, but it often
   results in weird, inconsistent issues. you have been warned 😉
