Can't see the changes supposedly made by your developer? Or maybe you're just tired of your site's annoying cache? Use this plugin to cache a break!<\/p>\n\n
With a compressed size of under 30KB, this simple plugin adds random version numbers to CSS & JS assets to prevent browser caching getting in the way of your happiness.<\/p>\n\n
Super Light Cache Buster also prevents page caching by using Cache-Control directives.<\/p>\n\n
You can completely disable the plugin from the settings page when you are not using it or keep it enabled if the site is under development. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n
Cache Buster is becoming more developer friendly. Below you can find the plugin's first hooks and details about them.<\/p>\n\n
slcb_allow_in_backend\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n- Filters whether Cache Buster should run (randomize asset version numbers) in the back end.<\/li>\n
Return true<\/code> to enable Cache Buster. false<\/code> is the default.<\/p>\n\nslcb_version_name<\/p><\/li>\n
Filters the version name for assets to allow using a custom version name (or number).<\/p><\/li>\n
- Return the version name e.g. you can use the value
2.0.1<\/code>.<\/li>\n- When this filter is in use, version numbers will not be randomized. Instead, you will have to change the version name manually to rename assets.<\/li>\n
- This filter overrides the \"Version Name\" setting in the dashboard.<\/li>\n
- The provided version name must be a valid query parameter. As a safety, if the provided string breaks any URLs, it will not be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n- I am open for your suggestions and feedback - Thank you for using or trying out one of my plugins!<\/li>\n
- Drop me a line @mwale_and_sons<\/a> on Twitter<\/li>\n

- Or visit me at my website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Do I have to clear my cache for the plugin to work?<\/h3>\n\n
Yes, you should clear your cache(s)! This plugin doesn't clear pages that have already been cached (coming soon, shhh).<\/p>\n\n
If you are still being served cached pages after activating the plugin, clear the cache at least once.<\/p>\n\n
This will delete all pages\/posts from the cache, and Cache Buster will prevent them from being cached again while the plugin is enabled :-).<\/p>\n\n
Does this plugin work on Multisite?<\/h3>\n\n
No, Cache Buster hasn't been tested on Multisite Networks.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the entire
super-light-cache-buster<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Clear all caches on your site and server (hosting).<\/li>\n
- Cache a break from caching :-).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
