## Description

How many times have you wished to minify in a clean way all the stylesheets and 
scripts of a WordPress website?

AssetsMinify takes every CSS and JS asset included using `wp_enqueue_style()` and`
wp_enqueue_script()`, merges and minifies them.

You can also use AssetsMinify to create your WP theme using Compass / Sass / Less
without configuring any `config.rb` or _that kind of stuff_.

AssetsMinify is based on Assetic library.

[Fork me on Github](https://github.com/acarbone/AssetsMinify).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `assetsminify` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the AssetsMinify plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu within WordPress
 3. Set write permission to uploads directory. In most cases: chmod 777 wp-content/
    uploads/
 4. Configure the plugin by going to the `Settings > AssetsMinify` menu that appears
    in your admin menu: you can choose whether to use Compass to compile Sass files
    or not flagging “Use Compass” field. If you check the flag “Use Compass” you can
    also specify the Compass compiler’s path ( default is /usr/bin/compass ).
 5. Important! If you choose to use Compass, the [PHP proc_open function](http://php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php)
    has to be enabled from the server which the website relies on.

## FAQ

  Which version of PHP is needed to use AssetsMinify on my WordPress installation?

PHP 5.3+

  How can I exclude only certain resources from minification?

You can fill in the text field “Resources to exclude” within the admin page of the
plugin using the filename of the resource. For example: script.js (not the whole
path).

It does what it said it does, merge and minify your (CSS/JS) assets

Simple and great. Other minify is bad when compared with this!

It’s easy to use, even for complex websites. So I love it.
