Scss compiler gives errors when coming across place holder selectors such as %clearfix{…} If i replace the complier from this plugin with the one from http://leafo.net/scssphp/ fixes the issue (which is an older version) Is there a way to specify the version of the compiler without modifying the plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/assetsminify/ Heres the error. Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘parse error: failed at %clearfix{ /Users/sunielsambasivan/src/www/wp-content/themes/ama/scss/_variables.scss on line 59′ Sorry the leafo.net compiler is v 0.0.12 but this plugin uses 0.0.4 Currently AssetsMinify doesn’t support multiple compilers. I’ll fix the placeholder issue on the next plugin’s version.
