 * There’s an option in the network settings page to “
    Remove the version parameter
   from urls” which I understand should remove ?ver=VERSION from URL query strings.
 * It’s not working.

 * p.s. for anyone interested in rolling out your own solution to do just that, 
   simply add this in a plugin or functions.php of your theme:
 *     ```
       function _remove_ver_from_css_and_js( $src ) {
       	if( strpos( $src, 'ver=' ) )
       		$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
       	return $src;
       }
       //
       add_filter( 'script_loader_src', '_remove_ver_from_css_and_js', 15, 1 );
       add_filter( 'style_loader_src', '_remove_ver_from_css_and_js', 15, 1 );
       ```

 * Kind of scary the dev never addressed this. And why do you folks have two almost
   identical plugins, other than the slightly different names?
