[resolved] [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Manually refresh a page/url's cache? (4 posts)

    I've searched but can't seem to find a way to do it, so here it goes.

    Is there a way to manually delete cache for a given page/url?

    I've purposefully set a long caching expiry, but at times when I make changes to a single post, it would be great to just refresh that post/url and the index page and not having to refresh the entire cache.

    If it's not possible at the moment, a humble suggestion: I remember an old WP 1.5 era caching system which allowed doing this with a secret query string parameter to be appended to the url.

    Thanks in advance.

    Editing a post will invalidate the cache for a post and any pages that display it (like home pages). Setting a low expiry will accomplish the same result. I will think about delete cache files manually by v1.0.

    Thanks fredericktownes.

    I guess there's a problem with my installation then because editing a post does not refresh the respective cache, and cache only gets refreshed after the specified expiry in settings.

    Time to explore my settings!

    Cheers.

    Unfortunately it's also possible another plugin is interfering with this logic. If you submit a bug submission report from the support tab of the plugin I'll check it out.
