 * In order to achieve that result, I added this code to _functions.php
 *     ```
       function _remove_script_version( $src ){
       	$parts = explode( '?', $src );
       	return $parts[0];
       }
       add_filter( 'script_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
       add_filter( 'style_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
       ```
   
 * this lines works like a charm, but actually I need this couple of css files (
   from GD Star Ratings plugin) to be untouched:
 * /wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/css/gdsr.css?ver=1.9.20
    /wp-content/gd-star-
   rating/css/rating.css?ver=1.9.20
 * Any idea about how to set a filter to exclude a particular css/js file from the
   above script code?
 * Thanks in advance for the help.

 * I think this will do what you want:
 *     ```
       function _remove_script_version( $src ){
       	$excludes = array(
       		'/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/css/gdsr.css?ver=1.9.20',
       		'/wp-content/gd-star-rating/css/rating.css?ver=1.9.20'
       	);
       	$result = $src;
       	if ( ! in_array($src, $excludes) ) {
       		$parts = explode( '?', $src );
       		$result = $parts[0];
       	}
       	return $result;
       }
       ```

 * Hi there, great tip, but, what about external css like [http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Play&ver=3.4.2](http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Play&ver=3.4.2),
   that when I enable
    style_loader_src breaks it?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I also found the script useful but need to exclude an external javascript call.
   Anyone?
