What permissions does Autoptimize require?

    There are no permissions listed on what is required to use the plugin. It’s not working and I’ve cleared all my caches. I’ve used it before but I’m working on a site that is running on a server with lots of restrictions that I’ve come across. There are no error pop ups in WP-admin.

    What exactly do I need to ensure is enabled so I know this is running right? Where can I view errors?

    hi @macdonjo;
    AO requires write-permissions to wp-content/cache and creates autoptimize/js and autoptimize/css in there. it will complain if that is not possible.

    secondly it requires access to the output buffer to “catch” and alter the HTML output and it requires read-access to JS- and CSS-files in wp-content and wp-includes.

    if things don’t work, you’ll probably have a plugin (or theme) conflict, so try disabling/ enabling plugins one at a time and briefly switch themes to identify.

    hope this helps,
    frank
