Use Case
I’ve been experimenting with Chrome’s Dev Tools Workspace features. It includes the ability to edit a file directly in Dev Tools and have the saved stylesheet refresh itself (or even compile and then refresh!).
However, as documented in the StackOverflow question “Chrome’s “Auto-Reload Generated CSS” not reloading page when SASS recompiles CSS”, URL parameters on the stylesheet URL prevent Chrome from noticing the change.
Desired Outcome
That means that only during development, I wanted to remove the ?ver=X.X.X
from the normal stylesheet <link>
output by wp_enqueue_style()
. In other words, I wanted the default href
:
http://localhost/mysite/wp-includes/style.css?ver=4.1.1
to instead be this:
http://localhost/mysite/wp-includes/style.css
