Enqueued scripts / styles getting WordPress version

    G’day again,

    Because I’m peering closely at the output of a new custom theme, I just noticed that EM and EM-Pro scripts and styles are all being enqueued with the default version string, being the WordPress version number. This could cause some people a little grief if scripts / styles are cached by visitors (or admins) and thus get out of synch with the PHP (or AJAX back-ends) they are supporting.

    I’d suggest you use EM_VERSION and EM_PRO_MIN_VERSION version strings, which will act as cache busters when new versions are installed.

    cheers,
    Ross

    funnily enough, I’m just about done with a big change to how the event booking tickets ui works (getting rid of the jquery dialog), and I was thinking of going that way.

    sadly, this isn’t 100% reliable though, e.g. cloudfront doesn’t take querystrings into account for js files, but hopefully it’ll help!

    G’day Marcus,

    That’s true about CloudFront only if you configure it to not forward query strings. Frankly, anyone setting it up like that deserves to get caching problems ??

    Remember, cache invalidation is one of the two hardest problems in computing science, the others being naming things, and off-by-one errors…

    cheers,

    afaik that’s the default setup.

    Based on that, I’m guessing in most cases ppl don’t bother since it’s the default setting in CF (I must admit, on many sites I don’t either :)).
