## Description
“It’s important to make resources (images, scripts, stylesheets, etc.) cacheable.”
[Steve Souders](http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2008/08/23/revving-filenames-dont-use-querystring/)
It is much easier to use a CDN without Query String Parameters.
This plugins alters
only local resources’ URL-s. The `ver` Query String Parameter will be inserted into
the filename.
For example `jquery.min.js?ver=1.10` becomes `jquery.min.110.js`.
To reverse this in the web server add this line to your nginx config:
```
server {
location ~ ^(.+)\.\d\d+\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
#try_files $uri $1.$2 /index.php?$args;
try_files $uri $1.$2 =404;
}
}
```
Or to your Apache configuration or `.htaccess` file.
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.\d\d+\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ $1.$2 [NC,L]
```
#### Testing the plugin before live usage
You can test the plugin by replacing the two `add_filter()` calls with this
```
require_once( dirname( dirname( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ) ) . '/wp-load.php' );
wp();
echo o1_revving_src( $argv[1] ) . PHP_EOL;
```
Then start it from CLI: `php revving.php `
#### Links
Development of this plugin goes on on [GitHub](https://github.com/szepeviktor/resource-versioning).
## Installation
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.
1. Upload `revving.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

## FAQ
How to remove all Query String Parameters from resources?
Poorly written plugins and themes may add unwanted Query String Parameters.
For
example `?rev=4.10`.
To drop all these parameters copy this into your `wp-config.php`:
```
define( 'O1_REMOVE_ALL_QARGS', true );
```
