w3 total cache keeps minifying my feeds

Question

When I deactivate w3 total cache my feed is not minify. But when I bring it back it does. Even when I uncheck: Cache feeds: site, categories, tags, comments. In Page Cache setting of the plugin.

Is there something else I am missing here?

Answer 1

To stop W3 Total Cache from minifying the feeds you need to go to:

1. In the menu: Performance > Minify
2. Meta Box: HTML & XML > HTML minify settings:
3. Check the box for: Don't minify feeds

One of the issues with feed minifying is that it adds CDATA wrapper around javascript in the content and that breaks the XML. I had this issue with videos that were in my content that used javascript.
