WordPress website still loading old style.css

Question

I have made changes to style.css but the wordpress website is still showing old contents. I checked the file in FTP, and the changes in the file are there, but it\'s not showing

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I fixed it in another way than the default.

First I located the file that I need to change:

wp-includes\theme.php

There is a function called get_stylesheet_uri

My function looks like this:

function get_stylesheet_uri() {
    $time = time();
    $stylesheet_dir_uri = get_stylesheet_directory_uri();
    $stylesheet_uri = $stylesheet_dir_uri . '/style.css?v='.$time;
    /**
     * Filter the URI of the current theme stylesheet.
     *
     * @since 1.5.0
     *
     * @param string $stylesheet_uri     Stylesheet URI for the current theme/child theme.
     * @param string $stylesheet_dir_uri Stylesheet directory URI for the current theme/child theme.
     */
    return apply_filters( 'stylesheet_uri', $stylesheet_uri, $stylesheet_dir_uri );
}
