Title: Nothing Working to Version CSS Sheet Last modified: July 26, 2019 --- # Nothing Working to Version CSS Sheet * [hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) * (@hastibe) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-2/) * I am using Argent as my theme (with a child theme), and I need to add a version number to the style.css sheet for cache busting purposes. I’ve Googled this, and tried all the top hits for doing this such as[ adding a version number](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/) to wp_enqueue_style, adding [this code](https://kellenmace.com/force-css-changes-to-go-live-immediately/) to functions.php of my child theme, [using filemtime](https://www.launch2success.com/guide/force-css-changes-to-go-live-immediately-in-wordpress/) as mentioned as method #2, and adding `wp_get_theme()->get('Version')` as mentioned under #1, [here](https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-use-versioning-to-update-your-cached-wordpress-content). * None of these methods have worked, mostly having no effect, and then occasionally crashing my staging site where I’ve been testing this. What can I use that will work? * Here’s the relevant code from my child theme’s functions.php: * ``` add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' ); function my_theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } ``` * …And here’s the relevant code from the Argent theme’s function.php: * ``` /** * Enqueue scripts and styles. */ function argent_scripts() { wp_enqueue_style( 'argent-style', get_stylesheet_uri() ); wp_enqueue_style( 'argent-fonts', argent_fonts_url(), array(), null ); wp_enqueue_style( 'genericons', get_template_directory_uri() . '/genericons/genericons.css', array(), '3.4.1' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'argent-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/argent.js', array( 'jquery' ), '20150326', true ); /* Change version from 20120206 */ wp_enqueue_script( 'argent-navigation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/navigation.js', array(), '20120206', true ); wp_enqueue_script( 'argent-skip-link-focus-fix', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/skip-link-focus-fix.js', array(), '20130115', true ); if ( 'jetpack-portfolio' == get_post_type() && argent_get_gallery() ) { wp_enqueue_style( 'argent-slick-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/slick/slick.css' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'argent-slick-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/slick/slick.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.4.1', true ); } if ( is_singular() && comments_open() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) { wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); } } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'argent_scripts' ); function argent_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 20; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'argent_excerpt_length', 999 ); ``` * Any help is appreciated! Completely at a loss, though I’m sure it’s something very simple that I’m missing. Happy to go through re-trying any of the above methods, if helpful, too.

I suggest asking in the Advanced WordPress forum: * [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) * Another good resource of information is Stack Exchange: * [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/) * Thread Starter [hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) * (@hastibe) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-2/#post-11771395) * Okay, thanks–I have [re-posted it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-3/) on the Developing with WordPress Forum. Here’s to hoping third time’s the charm! * Thread Starter [hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) * (@hastibe) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-2/#post-11774429) * Since this thread isn’t locked, yet, I just wanted to reply here to thank [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) for the last response ([here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-3/))– that did the trick, thank you SO much! * Also, I want to point out to [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/), [@fstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fstat/), and [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) that I first made this post in the **Fixing WordPress Forum** ([here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet/)), at which [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) recommended posting in the **Theme: Argent Forum**. So, I re-posted it [there](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-2/), at which point [@fstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fstat/) said I should be posting it in the **Developing with WordPress Forum**. So, I re-posted it [there](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-working-to-version-css-sheet-3/), at which point [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) moved the thread back to the **Fixing WordPress Forum**, locked it, and said to _“Please use that theme’s support forum instead as suggested.”_ * I understand and appreciate the importance of moderation and that its purpose is to help people actually get the help they need, but this has been confusing( if my question hadn’t been answered by [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) in the nick of time, I wouldn’t have known what to do with my question, at this point), and leaves me feeling like my question is unwelcome here.
