Disable wordpress caching of styles using “ver” url parameter

2 comments

1. I solved this one by adding a filter on the style loader hook that replaces the version number with the current time value. Works a treat, but not to be used in production!

   // TODO Remove this once put in a production environment
   add_filter('style_loader_tag', 'development_disable_style_caching');
   function development_disable_style_caching($tag){
     return str_replace(get_bloginfo('version'), time(), $tag);
   }
   

2. If you want to remove :
   Add the below to your functions.php file

   // Remove WP Version From Styles    
   add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'sdt_remove_ver_css_js', 9999 );
   // Remove WP Version From Scripts
   add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'sdt_remove_ver_css_js', 9999 );
   
   // Function to remove version numbers
   function sdt_remove_ver_css_js( $src ) {
       if ( strpos( $src, 'ver=' ) )
           $src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
       return $src;
   }
   

   For Custom Version
   Version number is a parameter of wp_enqueue_style().

   Per the Codex, here are all the parameters that wp_enqueue_style accepts.

   wp_enqueue_style( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $media );
   

   So for example to load a stylesheet with a version number you’d do the following:

   function wpa_90820() {
       wp_enqueue_style('my-styles', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/my-styles.css', '', '1.0' );   
   
   }    
   
   add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpa_90820');
