Add version query tag to all images

Question

I want caching all images on my site and prevent the browser download the images all times, so I would like add an version query tag to all images (for example: ?v=20160505)

How can I add this for image urls? Now I use this code to show images in my theme:

echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $thumbnail->ID, 'thumbnail' );

Don't know why you want to do it when there's update_post_thumbnail_cache() in WordPress and set expire headers on server side. But you can try this in your functions.php:

add_filter('wp_get_attachment_image_src', function($img, $id, $size, $icon) {
  
    $img[0] = $img[0] . '?v={$some_version}';

    return $img;
    
}, PHP_INT_MAX, 4);
