 * 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 methods 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.
