This function just allows you to change“ ver” param manually (not using configurations in the admin panel). * Best Regards, Kostya * Thread Starter [magedmoh94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magedmoh94/) * (@magedmoh94) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-4/#post-12345090) * Hi, * Sorry for asking so much but there is miss understanding. * What steps do i need to take to revert everything back to normal and make everyfile show its main version. Not the version defined by the plugin ? * Step 1: deactivate the plugin. Step 2: ? * What action else i need to do to reset the ver number defined by ur plugin to revert back to the oroginal version number for each file defined by each plugin and theme ? * Plugin Author [kostyatereshchuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kostyatereshchuk/) * (@kostyatereshchuk) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-4/#post-12345299) * Hi, * You just need to deactivate this plugin (only one step). If it does not work it is possible that some other plugin or theme makes changes to the versions of the assets. * Best Regards, Kostya * Thread Starter [magedmoh94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magedmoh94/) * (@magedmoh94) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-4/#post-12366383) * Hi, * Thank you for your interest for help you were right. * I had a php snippet who does manages the assets but i can’t revert everything back to normal even after disabling the php snippet: * I have asked before on stackoverflow to hide the version of wordpress, css & javascript files but this result in a bug where when we update the plugins the browser couldn’t detect the new updated files so it still the same. * below the php snippet code someone helped before here and provided, we need to disable its function so we deleted it form the functions.php but the issue is still there, the ver= parameter still removed when we try to access the source code of the website from the browser, we flushed the cash and tried in icognito mode but still the same disabling the php snippet doesn’t make everything to back its normal. * ``` // remove version from head remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); // remove version from rss add_filter('the_generator', '__return_empty_string'); // remove version from scripts and styles function shapeSpace_remove_version_scripts_styles($src) { if (strpos($src, 'ver=')) { $src = remove_query_arg('ver', $src); } return $src; } add_filter('style_loader_src', 'shapeSpace_remove_version_scripts_styles', 9999); add_filter('script_loader_src', 'shapeSpace_remove_version_scripts_styles', 9999); ``` * We need to have the ver= parameter next to each css and javascript file as before to test that everything is back to normal then we will activate your plugin. * Best Regards * Plugin Author [kostyatereshchuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kostyatereshchuk/) * (@kostyatereshchuk) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-4/#post-12368949) * Hi, * I recommend searching for “style_loader_src” and “script_loader_src” in your project files and see if there is some filter that can remove “ver” param. * Hope it will help. * Best Regards, Kostya Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Disable the plugin’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/prevent-browser-caching/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1793665) * [Prevent Browser Caching](https://wordpress.org/plugins/prevent-browser-caching/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prevent-browser-caching/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prevent-browser-caching/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prevent-browser-caching/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prevent-browser-caching/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [kostyatereshchuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kostyatereshchuk/) * Last activity: [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-4/#post-12368949) * Status: resolved
