Reply To: Better WordPress Minify plugin – Plugin Firewall, Plugin Firewall Whitelist

A lot of things have changed in BPS Pro since this forum topic was created.  The new Plugin Firewall AutoPilot Mode will be able to automatically detect and create Plugin Firewall whitelist rules if you turn off/disable minification to allow AutoPilot Mode to work, BUT typically every/any/all minify plugins modify the frontloading Source Code (plugin .js scripts, CSS, HTML, etc) of a website in a way that the original Source Code can no longer be processed by the Plugin Firewall.  So what that means is even if you have valid Plugin Firewall whitelist rules then the Plugin Firewall will still not be able to function/process those whitelist rules.  You can either exclude all frontloading .js scripts in Better WordPress Minify from being minified or manually (literally manually combine .js scripts) minify frontloading .js scripts or turn off/deactivate the Plugin Firewall.

Minify Plugins: If you are using a Minify plugin then you will probably not see Security Log entries / alerts.  Most if not all minifying plugins allow you to choose to exclude plugin scripts that you do not want to minify.  If you want to use the BPS Pro Plugin Firewall then you can choose not to minify particular plugin scripts so that you can use both minifying and the Plugin Firewall together.  It is recommended that you turn Off/deactivate minifying to get the plugin scripts that need to be whitelisted in the Plugin Firewall.  After you have added those plugin scripts to your Plugin Firewall whitelist you can then exclude those same plugin scripts from being minified in your minify plugin and turn On/activate your Minify plugin.
