## Beschrijving

**Manage/Remove Version Number from CSS & JS** gives you full control over the version
numbers appended to your website’s CSS and JavaScript files.

By default, WordPress appends a version query string (for example, `?ver=6.8`) to
enqueued CSS and JavaScript files. Depending on your caching strategy, you may want
to remove these version numbers or replace them with the file’s last modified timestamp
for better cache invalidation.

This lightweight plugin provides simple configuration options without requiring 
any code changes.

### Features

 * Remove version numbers from CSS and JavaScript files.
 * Replace version numbers with the file’s last modified timestamp.
 * Keep the default WordPress version numbers if preferred.
 * Improve browser cache management.
 * Lightweight and easy to configure.
 * Compatible with most WordPress themes and plugins.

### Available Options

 * Keep the default WordPress version number.
 * Remove version numbers completely.
 * Use the file’s last modified timestamp as the version number.

### Use Cases

 * Improve browser caching.
 * Enable automatic cache busting after file updates.
 * Remove WordPress version numbers from frontend assets.
 * Improve website performance and cache efficiency.
 * Simplify asset version management.

## Installatie

 1. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it through
    the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Open **Version No. of JS & CSS** from the WordPress admin menu.
 4. Select the versioning option that best fits your caching requirements.
 5. Save your settings.

## FAQ

### What versioning options are available?

You can choose to keep the default WordPress version number, remove it entirely,
or use the file’s last modified timestamp.

### Why would I use the file modified timestamp?

Using the file’s last modified timestamp automatically changes the version whenever
the file is updated, helping browsers load the latest assets while still benefiting
from caching.

### Will this improve website performance?

The plugin can improve browser caching behavior and make cache invalidation more
reliable. Overall performance improvements depend on your hosting environment and
caching configuration.

### Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The plugin works alongside most WordPress caching and optimization plugins.

I had been uploading custom JS files to my WordPress site and couldn't figure out
why they wouldn't load. This solved my problem quickly and easily without any modifications
to my theme. Thank you for this!
