Wordpress - How to remove file versions from the file source links in wp_head?
You can hook into style_loader_src
and script_loader_src
and run remove_query_arg( 'ver', $url )
on the URL:
<?php
/* Plugin Name: Remove version parameter for scripts and styles */
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 't5_remove_version' );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 't5_remove_version' );
function t5_remove_version( $url )
{
return remove_query_arg( 'ver', $url );
}
Without this plugin:
After plugin activation:
There is one case where that will fail: When someone didn’t use the script/style API, but added a hard coded string to the header.
This worked for me when I still had to load a stylesheet from Google Fonts.
<?php
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'wpse130419_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'wpse130419_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
function wpse130419_remove_script_version( $src ) {
$url = explode( '?', $src );
if ( $url[0] === 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css' ) :
$version = explode( '&ver=', $url[1] );
$url[1] = $version[0];
endif;
return ( $url[0] === 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css' )
? "{$url[0]}?{$url[1]}"
: $url[0]
;
}
