 * Hi,
    I am using the plugin recommended by woocommerce itself for function.php
   and css rules: **theme-customisations** [https://github.com/woocommerce/theme-customisations](https://github.com/woocommerce/theme-customisations)
 * When I change those rules in the css in the:
    /wp-content/plugins/theme-customisations/
   custom/style.css **I don’t see the changes if I don’t clear the browser cache.**
 * If I open the css from the developer inspector of a browser, I see that it actually**
   still loads the old version** from the cache and that the last modification date
   is old and wrong.
 * I think the problem may lie in the **query string that does not change** and 
   always remains “? Ver = 5.5.3”, which is the same as the version of wordpress
   in use.
 * As a cache plugin I use Siteground Optimizer and Cloudflare.
 * How could I solve?
 * Thank you

 * Hi there,
 * This is a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a 
   bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.
 * I can also recommend [the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal](https://developer.woocommerce.com/)
   for resources on developing for WooCommerce.
 * You can also visit the [WooCommerce Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/)
   or the `#developers` channel of the [WooCommerce Community Slack](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/).
   We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce,
   and many of our developers hang out there, as well.

 * Hey there! No one has been able to chime in, so I’m going to close off this topic.
   If you need further support, I second RK’s recommendations above.
