WordPress using backed up versions instead changed files

    Hello,
    I have a problem with wordpress 4.7.

    Files php, css, js, all are being backed up by updated version.
    Instead of using updated themes’s file from my theme or plugin, it creates A COPY as an example:

    file-theme.css?ver=1.1.x

    All files used by wordpress are tagged at the end “?ver=4.71”

    That is, even editing the files, replacing them with new versions or even deleting, NOTHING happens because the files used are those backup versions.

    Therefore, I can not update my files at all.

    Could some one help me how to remove this feature or indicate how to change the files in the correct way?

    Appreciate,

    file-theme.css?ver=1.1.x

    Those are not copies of files, per se. They’re simply the way in which WordPress loads the files. WordPress will always load the current version of a file *assuming that the file is correctly enqueued). Apart from the (very normal) addition of ?ver=1.1.x in the head section of each page, is there anything else about these site’s pages that suggests that older version of files are being used?

    Hi emsi,

    if I change the files via ftp for example nothing happens. WordPress is using an “old version” of the files.

    Which files are you changing? And how do you know that an “old version” is being used?

    One specific file from my plugin,
    /plugins/wc-vendors/classes/front/signup/class-vendor-signup.php

    change one “printf” for translation.

    I have updated my CSS files from my theme and child theme, and nothing is changing…

    The wordpress awalys using a different version as mentioned before.

    I have found some information, file that includes the ‘wp_enqueue_script’ function. More details are here:
    https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_script/

    the $ver variable is set to ‘null’ so that no version is added. But, I dont know how to insert his on my functions.php
