Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about The Cache Purger
If you find yourself manually clearing caches in multiple places after every site update — or if you want to automate that process entirely — this plugin handles it all from one settings screen. It's especially useful on sites with complex stacks: a CDN in front, a caching plugin active, and a server-level cache underneath.
On a fresh install, Plugin Caches, WordPress Caches, Server Caches, and Memory Caches are all enabled. API/CDN caches (Cloudflare, Sucuri, Fastly) are opt-in, since they require API credentials.
Go to The Cache Purge > API/Server Settings, enter your credentials, and make sure "API Caches" is included in your Caches To Purge selection on the Settings tab.
Also under API/Server Settings. Enable the relevant toggle, then add your server IP(s), port(s), and any authentication or database details. Multiple servers are supported.
Yes. When you enable purging for posts, pages, or CPTs, an exclusion selector appears below it. Any content selected there will be ignored when saved or updated.
wp the_cache purge Add --allow-root if running as root. On a multisite, add --url=https://yoursite.com to target a specific subsite.
By design. Activating per-subsite gives each site its own independent configuration, which is almost always what you want in a multisite environment.
At {ABSPATH}wp-content/uploads/the-cache-purger/*. Enable logging under Settings > Log Purge Actions? and it will be viewable directly in the The Purge Log tab. You can clear it manually from that tab, or set it to auto-clear on a schedule under CRON Action Settings.
