Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Reqad Cache Purger for Nginx
No. Nginx does the caching; this plugin only tells it what to throw away.
That module purges one exact key per request and has no wildcard support, so the "purge everything" button cannot work. It has also been unmaintained since 2015 and no longer builds against current Nginx. Use https://github.com/nginx-modules/ngx_cache_purge instead. Purges return 403. The request is not reaching Nginx from an address in your allow list. The plugin calls the site's own public hostname, so the source address is normally the server's public IP - not 127.0.0.1. Behind a proxy that sets real_ip_header, $remote_addr becomes the visitor's address instead; in that case point the plugin at your origin with the ngxcp_purge_endpoint filter. Purges return 412. 412 means "this key was not in the cache". For a page nobody has requested yet that is normal and the plugin treats it as success. If it happens for pages that
fastcgi_cache_key. Nothing happens when content changes. Enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG. Every purge attempt is logged to wp-content/debug.log with an NGXCP: prefix, including the URL and HTTP status.
Yes, with the ngxcp_purge_endpoint filter. ngxcp_purge_sslverify controls certificate verification, and ngxcp_paths_for_post controls which paths are purged when a post changes. See README.md.
Yes. Product and product-category purging switch on automatically. Make sure your Nginx bypass rules exclude cart, checkout, my-account and the WooCommerce session cookies - the configuration in README.md does.
Not for page caching, no. Those plugins store rendered HTML themselves, and Nginx then caches their output - two caches with two lifetimes and two purge mechanisms that know nothing about each other, so pages go stale in ways no single purge fixes. Turn page caching off in the other plugin (its minification, database and CDN features are fine to keep), or drop the fastcgi_cache directives from your vhost and let that plugin do the caching. The Settings page warns you when it detects one. Object caches such as Redis Object Cache work fine - they are a different layer. Site Health says "Page cache is not detected". Core's test looks for a fixed list of caching headers and does not know x-fastcgi-cache. The plugin registers the header with core, so the test should pass once this plugin is active. If it still does not, either the cache status header is missing from your vhost, or the home page is being bypassed - run the cache self-test on the Settings page to see which. You can also emit the name core already knows: add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status always;.
