The Cache Purger Documentation

Description

TOP | DESCRIPTION | FEATURES | SETTINGS | API/SERVER SETTINGS | CRON Action SETTINGS | CRON Action SETTINGS | IN THE WORKS

This plugin attempts to purge all server-side caching methods.

This includes the most common caching plugins, some hosting based caches, most server based caches, built-in Wordpress object caches, and even simple file based caches

Just configure what you want to purge on, and the plugin will take care of the rest.

We have also included a CLI cache purger. Shell into your install and run the following command: wp the_cache purge. The normal CLI flags apply, and if you are in a multisite, you must include the --url flag.
