Can't Preview Form - Conflict with WP Minify?

    I'm new to GF and I just tested my first form, a simple form with name and website. When I saved it, I saw the menu of next options including "Preview the Form" or something like that. When I clicked that I went to a blank page with this error message at the top of the screen:

    Fatal error: Class 'WPMinifyCommon' not found in /mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-minify/wp-minify.php on line 50

    Is there a known conflict with the WP Minify plugin?

    Thanks!

  2. This is the first time I hear about this conflict. I am not sure there is anything we will be able to do on our end since the error is coming from a file in the WP Minify plugin.
    I would try contacting the folks with WP Minify and see if they can take a look at this.

    I'm having the same conflict, while running WP 3.0.3, and GF 1.4.5, I wonder if there was ever a resolution to this issue?

  4. Troubleshooting I would do:

    Turn off minify and reinstall GF - does the conflict still appear?

    Which script loads first? If it is GF there could be a conflict with jquery. (check this by viewing the source of your page -easiest method)

    Minify condenses code and strips out a lot of things it feels is...not efficient. Turn off Minify and test the form in the FRONT END, copy the code into a text file. Turn on minify and test the code in the FRONT END, copy it and reformat it using one of the many free tools available on the web. - compare the code and find the missing link -

    Something I have to say, and I mean no ill will by it, but if you require a plugin like WP-Minify to speed up your website (and it actually makes a difference) you, or your programmer, may wish to clean up their code.

    Does every page need shadowbox and, thus a javascript call?
    Does every page require 5 CSS files?

    yadda yadda you get the idea. The use of Minify for Wordpress, Joomla (and probably others) can be avoided by clean code, and ensuring every code has a purpose on the page.
