How to combine js files and cs files

    Hi all,

    Firstly, let me say how grateful I am for such a fantastic mod to WP. Cudos to everyone involved.

    I want to be able to combine all js, and css (separately) for page load speed reasons.

    The result will look something like

    script src=”/combine.php?type=javascript&files=/path-to-file-1.js,/path-to-file-2.js,/path-to-file-3.js,/path-to-file-4.js,” type=”text/javascript”></script

    Css much the same.

    What do I need to modify (I assume in class.wp-scritps.php ?) in order to achieve this.

    Currently I have 30 odd calls to css and js, and this is hurting useablility.

    Many thanks.

    I recommend that you use W3 Total Cache; specifically, it’s minify option.

    I am, but it does not combine js or css.

    There are still 20 odd js calls.

    I have not enabled page cache of course as that doesn’t work with BP, correct?

    Minify is enabled, but it does not compress the files for gzip.

    Currently, in W3 Total Cache, you have to manually add the JS into a group. Same for CSS.
    Make sure you use relative links when adding the JS to a group (eg. wp-content/plugins/xxx/xxx.js)

    W3 Total Cache v0.9 (currently in development) is said to make this much easier.

    domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=w3-total-cache/w3-total-cache.php

    The development version provides a nice list of links across the top.

    General | Page Cache | Minify | Database Cache | Object Cache | Browser Cache | User Agent Groups | Content Delivery Network | FAQ | Support | Install | About

    Choose Minify to combine the js and css scripts.

    Follow LPH’s advice.

    The section you’re looking for is “JS File Management” and “CSS File Management”. Start manually adding JS /CSS files to a group and save. Make sure you apply the .htaccess edits when W3TC prompts you for them.
