How to remove Query String “?” (question mark) from URL (Using WordPress)

4 comments

1. Do you have W3 Total Cache Installed ? (WordPress Plugin) , If you do

   Go to the Browser Cache Tab

   Untick

   Prevent caching of objects after settings change

   Whenever settings are changed, a new query string will be generated and appended to objects allowing the new policy to be applied.

   Clear the Cache then It’s gone 🙂
   Hope this helps

3. Change your Permalink settings from the default with question marks to a format you prefer under /wp-admin/options-permalink.php

   • Default: http://www.example.com/?p=123
   • Day and name: http://www.example.com/2012/03/02/sample-post/
   • Month and name: http://www.example.com/2012/03/sample-post/
   • Numeric: http://www.example.com/archives/123
   • Post name: http://www.example.com/sample-post/
   • Custom Structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

4. Add this code to your functions.php file, it works for my sites.

   function _remove_script_version( $src ){
   $parts = explode( '?ver', $src );
       return $parts[0];
   }
    add_filter('script_loader_src','_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
   add_filter('style_loader_src','_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
