Adds the version number of attachments to their URL.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Attachment URL Version version 1.0.4 as active, updated 3y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.1.
By default, attachments do not have a version query parameter, like, for example JavaScript files have. This plugins adds version numbers to the query strings of attachments.
Version numbers in query strings are useful for caching. If an attachment changes, its version number and, therefore, its URL changes. This allows for the attachment to be cached for an extended period of time or indefintely, for example, with the directive “immutable” of the Cache-Control header.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 6.1.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
