    Hello, I am using vanilla 2.0.18.9 and i am wondering how to remove the query string in the url. I tried with .htaccess some things but none of them worked correctly; i get a 500 error or the layout is totally changed (i am using VanillaBootstrap theme)
    I also tried with javascript but no results.

    And when i look into the source code, i see sources like this:

    "/js/library/jquery.js?v=2.0.18.9"

    "/js/library/jquery.livequery.js?v=2.0.18.9"

    So how can i remove the ?v=

    I noticed that when i did a pagespeed test and it recommended me to remove the query strings...
    Can anyone help me with that?
    is there a special way for Vanilla to rewrite rules?

    Those are fake query strings that merely force a fresh download of the file when the forum software is updated. This is done in the browser and isn't actually processed on the server side.

  • To add on to what @hgtonight said, those JavaScript files do get cached by the browser, so the query strings don't affect performance like without the query strings. When Vanilla and add-ons get updated, the query strings will change so that the browser can see updated code.

    Add Pages to Vanilla with the Basic Pages app

  • thank you both hgtonight and Shadowdare; i do understand it now
