Hi Virgodesign. External files aren’t cached by design. The reasoning behind this is for when you have external javascript files that are on a CDN or some sort of dynamic service (eg. Google Analytics).
What sort of files do you wish to cache? Why not just copy them to your theme?
Hi, and thanks for the reply.
I’m running a wordpress multisite and I have a static subdomain where I put many libraries (with js and css files). This way I can Use these libraries in every subsite, independenlty from the activated theme. The plugin is not able to recognize the files inside this subdomain (due to the url path) and consider them as external.
Hi Virgodesign. We have looked into this and had trouble trying to implement it. The main issue is that the plugin can’t check the modified date of the remote files without a delay. We have decided this kind of change doesn’t solve the problem that merge minify is trying to solve.
In your case creating a php script that pulls the javascript and css files into your theme might be the best solution if you want them merged & minified.
OK, thank you very much for this awesome plugin!
