After installing a Caching-Plugin and Cloudflare, css acts strange

Hi there,

i tried today to install Hummingbird Pro as a caching-plugin and activated Cloudflare-Support as well. Since then, every page acts strangely - some css is loaded, other definitively is not. Currently, my whole page http://wachau.photo/ is a big mess. Even when i try to add or replace content in Pro, every Content Element is not shown correctly, but without a lot of detail.

If i activate another style in the design customizer, everything is loaded back to normal. I have currently deactivated all the plugins, but Cloudflare is still up.

I’m a bit at a loss, as how to proceed from here.

My best,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for writing in! We basically recommends the W3 Total Cache plugin. You can follow this guide (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/customizations-performance/210), on how to utilize on to your site.

With regard to CloudFlare, try disabling it’s CSS autominification and Javascript autominification by head over to Speed tab. Since X already provides a minified version, you can ignore that feature.

Also check the following resource for more information (https://xthemetips.com/using-cloudflare-rocket-loader-with-x-pro-and-x5/928/).

Hope that helps.

It seems like disabling the auto-minification of Cloudflare did the trick the second time, after reinstalling a new copy of Pro onto my server. I’m currently reactivating all the plugins. Hummingbird seems to do fine now, after disabling minification for the Pro css-files as well.

I’ll keep you posted.

Glad to hear that. Have a nice day! :slight_smile:

Reactivated now all the other plugins, everything seems fine now, including the Caching-Plugin Hummingbird. I took the css files out of minification within the Caching-Plugin and Cloudflare - which was basically what it took to bring everything online again. Thanks for the tip regarding Minification.

We are happy that we are able to help you!

Thanks
