Modified css and javascript are not updating in browser

    I have modified some CSS and JS for my site and simply cannot get it to update in a browser. I need to force this from the server side upon modification. I’ve tried wp_enqueue_style in functions.php and it didn’t work; it worked for the main stylesheet, but it isn’t working for these other files. I don’t want to override there for every CSS or JS anyway; I simply want updates on modification. I’ve tried using .htaccess with active on and defaults set to “modification”, and that didn’t work either. How can this be accomplished?

    Do you have any caching plugins (or host-based caching) for your site? If so, clear the caches (and disable caching while you’re working).

    Yes, I have W3 Total Cache, it lodges itself under the Performance menu. I’m not sure which cache to purge, and I’d like to purge minimally. I tried the Browser Cache, which contains the JS/CSS/HTML caching, but it didn’t work. I tried the Page Cache as well, but it did not work either. Object cache is disabled.

    Disable W3TC entirely and see if it makes a difference. If so, re-enable it and purge all its caches.

    Neither disabling nor purging all caches worked. What else could be happening?

    OK, explain to me what you’re trying to do and please provide a link to your site.
