# Adding Version To URL

 * Hi,
 * I notice when the plugin is activated, a version number is appended to the end
   of an image URL (eg: image-name.jpg=v12345). I notice that if I remove ‘v=12345’,
   the original image is still watermarked.
 * Is there a way to prevent ‘=v12345’ from being outputted on the front-end? The
   only reason I ask is the watermarked images are being fed into an XML feed, which
   gives this error:
 * Error 1824: Element ‘url’: ‘[https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/image-file.jpg?v=1627994243&#8217](https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/image-file.jpg?v=1627994243&#8217);
   is not a valid value of the atomic type ‘imageUrlType’.
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for reporting this problem. Looks like it’s a bug we need to fix, cause
   this parameter should not be added to an XML feed. We’re adding it to our list.
 * Please read [here](https://docs.bracketspace.com/easy-watermark/user-guide/common-issues#plugin-adding-query-strings-to-images-why-and-how-to-turn-this-off)
   more about the version parameter and how to turn it off if really needed.
