By [Simon Prosser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pross/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rebusted.1.2.zip) * [Details](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/rebusted/#description) * [Reviews](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/rebusted/#reviews) * [Installation](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/rebusted/#installation) * [Development](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/rebusted/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rebusted/) ## Description Saves you from asking “have you emptied your cache?”. Forked and updated for todays WordPress and PHP from the original plugin by Paul Clark. **Features** * Safe to leave running on live sites. * Only refreshes browser cache for a file if it has been modified. * Resolves Content Delivery Network (CDN) issues. No need to purge CDN cache. * Multisite compatible. * “Just works” – no configuration necessary. **Requirements** Requires scripts use any of the below functions to load. Almost all files meet these requirements. The only case it doesn’t account for is when URLs are hard-coded. This shouldn’t ever be done, since it can break sites for other reasons. * [wp_enqueue_style](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style) * [wp_enqueue_script](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) * [get_stylesheet_uri](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_uri) ## Installation 1. Search for “reBusted” under `WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New` 2. Install the plugin. 3. Activate the plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1cdb5d6b7199eb0bca23a8233ffea96598bb124e41411a7c1d1d6b641731288c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Do the job as described, good work!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-as-described-good-work/)󠁿 [carlostalaga](https://profiles.wordpress.org/catonfire/) November 20, 2023 I use it on different hosting platforms, and it works perfectly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ca481b56965d51c2202d6b74d3e6567908a142d529dc39061546a1acef255af2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A must](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-106/)󠁿 [Lovro Hrust](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lovor/) October 5, 2023 This is a great tool for advanced developer. It saves you from manually versioning your css/scripts or devising your own versioning solutions based on system time which would reload css/js every time, slowing a page load. This ensures only changed styles/scripts are reloaded. Five stars! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/474e4d55b9cb9015ebd0052c743bb5a88875beb217b986a12371b5ddbca7ead1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Lo máximo](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lo-maximo-16/)󠁿 [juvesu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juvesu/) May 25, 2023 muy bueno, simple y poderoso ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/67ca6bbc5eb71fa514bcabeaffd4520447a86f851fde2d1bb81ffdc2a4230876? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-works-696/)󠁿 [Taco Loco](https://profiles.wordpress.org/weavebranding/) February 8, 2022 Activate and relax. Must use plugin on all our sites. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d17c9efc6a6698306da99f672f9f2e2babafdff192b60c68bcc10e02f80355c8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works very well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-very-well-603/)󠁿 [mcostam1985](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mcostam1985/) September 21, 2021 It does the job. You upload or do changes to the css, js of the site, and with just pressing the F5, everybody gets the new changes. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9fcf7fa12e996647a17852aa9ab5581ce7f322c48d26117d9296bc97c2b88bd4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Saved my day.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/saved-my-day-45/)󠁿 [rika13](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rikamaa/) February 23, 2021 The style.css just wouldn’t update any more, nothing I did helped. Version numbers, flushing caches, tried all the tricks I found in the net. The domain and site owner wouldn’t answer my msgs. After hours of frusration I installed this, and.. aaaaahh! Like sunshine after a year of rain. Thank you for this plugin. Great work.
