Are you a frontend developer? Do you want to clear browser cache for all users? Just activate this plugin and show your work!<\/p>\n\n

Disable Version Caching allows you to update the assets version of all CSS and JS files automatically or manually in one click.<\/p>\n\n

Now you can show the latest changes on the site without asking the client to clear the cache.<\/p>\n\n

How it works?<\/h4>\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n

To prevent caching of CSS and JS files, this plugin adds a unique number (e.g., 1526903434) to the \"ver\" parameter (e.g., style.css?ver=4.9.6.1526903434) for all links, loaded using wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script functions.<\/p>\n\n

For developers<\/h4>\n\n

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

But you can also set the version of CSS and JS files programmatically.<\/p>\n\n

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

disable_version_caching( array( \n    'assets_version' => '123' \n) );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
