[19] Fix | Delete

Usually, WordPress loads assets using query param "ver" in the URL (e.g., style.css?ver=4.9.6). It allows browsers to cache these files until the parameter will not be updated.

To prevent caching of CSS and JS files, this plugin adds a unique number (e.g., 1526905286) to the "ver" parameter (e.g., style.css?ver=4.9.6.1526905286) for all links, loaded using wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script functions.

By default, this plugin updates all assets files every time a user loads a page and adds options in the admin panel (Settings -> Prevent Browser Caching) which allows you to configure updating of these files.

But you can also set the version of CSS and JS files programmatically.

[28] Fix | Delete

[29] Fix | Delete

Just insert this code in functions.php file of your theme and change the value of assets_version when you need to update assets:

[30] Fix | Delete

[31] Fix | Delete

`prevent_browser_caching( array(

[32] Fix | Delete

'assets_version' => '123'

[33] Fix | Delete

) );`
