Title: wp_enqueue_scripts not working with autoptimize Last modified: August 28, 2020 --- # wp_enqueue_scripts not working with autoptimize * [yohanndevo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yohanndevo/) * (@yohanndevo) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_scripts-not-working-with-autoptimize/) * Hi everyone, * I’ve installed autoptimize for WP 4.6.1 and it works great. However, I’ve noticed some scripts stopped working. All script contained in my scripts.php file are not being loaded anymore: * scripts.php * ``` admin_url('admin-ajax.php'))); wp_enqueue_script('main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/dist/js/all.js',[] , null, true); } add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'scripts'); ``` * this script is loaded from the wp_head(). However none of the scripts loaded with wp_enqueue_script are working. So here, MyAjax remains empty, and is breaking my ajax calls, all the sliders based on slick are breaking on the site and so on.. * What is the workaround to make it work? Any help is much appreciated thank you. * EDIT: * You can have a look at the dev version: [https://acceptance-mobiskill.numeria-communication.com/](https://acceptance-mobiskill.numeria-communication.com/) - This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by [yohanndevo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yohanndevo/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by [yohanndevo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yohanndevo/).

I can deactivate WP Fastest Cache if you want. lmk. Thanks * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_scripts-not-working-with-autoptimize/#post-13344008) * well, when looking at the HTML source of your site, I saw that the JS/ CSS was( also) optimized by WP Fastest Cache. Using 2 plugins to combine and/ or minify CSS/ JS can lead to unpredictable results and things breaking, so indeed the first step would be to disable CSS & JS functionality in WPFC and let only AO handle that part? * Thread Starter [yohanndevo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yohanndevo/) * (@yohanndevo) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_scripts-not-working-with-autoptimize/#post-13349153) * Got it thank you for your follow up. Ok I’ve deactivated WP Fastest Cache for now. The slider at the bottom is still broken (using slick) and some css issues are still here as you can see here: [https://acceptance-mobiskill.numeria-communication.com/entreprise/](https://acceptance-mobiskill.numeria-communication.com/entreprise/) * You can compare with the website in prod: [http://www.mobiskill.fr](http://www.mobiskill.fr) * Thank you so much for your help!

Much appreciated. * I have cleaned the code a little bit, and while the css errors have disappeared, the slider is still breaking. I made sure the error is made obvious on the landing page, if you go to the page with our without the plugin activated, you should see the difference now with the slider being broken up. * Thank you. * [DocFunky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docfunky/) * (@docfunky) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_scripts-not-working-with-autoptimize/#post-13419914) * For some reason, I’m getting this error message: Uncaught TypeError: $(…).slick is not a function at HTMLDocument.

Is the slick jQuery plugin loaded? * [DocFunky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docfunky/) * (@docfunky) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_enqueue_scripts-not-working-with-autoptimize/#post-13420236) * It should be, If I deactivate the plugin automptimize, it works just fine. Not sure why. Also I tried pushing the changes live (I hacked the slider gently to make it look ok for now) but the end results are widely different (no incidence at all on prod when I check on google page speed. I’m considering switching to pro to review everything with one of you guys.
