Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cache control by Cacholong

This plugin has several requirements. Please check the minimum and optional requirements, before installing this plugin. Open a support topic if you require additional help.

Although no message is displayed, the purge was activated! You can see the purge message when you refresh the page. This is a technical limitation.

Wordpress cronjobs are not the same as real cronjobs. Wordpress cronjobs will start if someone visits your website after (or on the) scheduled time. This might be later then expected. It is possible to disable Wordpress cronjobs and use a real cronjob that polls wp-cron.php on a regular base.

If you enter a time of day that has already passed, the first cronjob is set to this time of day and is executed the first time the site is loaded (or wp-cron.php is called).

Wordpress cronjobs are disabled ('DISABLE_WP_CRON' = true). Please use a different type of cronjob to poll wp-cron.php on a regular base. If cronjob cache purging fails make sure the hosts.json file is in place with the proper settings. See hosts.json section on the plugins page for more details.
