 * Hi [@prachi2patel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prachi2patel/),
 * Thanks for your message. Can you clarify what you mean? That “3.1.3” in that 
   URL? This is the standard way for WordPress to do “cache busting”. The plugin’s
   version number is appended to the URL, to ensure that the latest version is loaded.
 * This is not a security issue, as version information are public (and the version
   can be found in many other ways anyways).
 * Or am I misunderstanding something?
 * (However, please note: Version 3.1.3 of TablePress does have a security issue,
   unrelated to this version number in that URL, so that I recommend updating to
   TablePress 3.2.1.)
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
