Title: Automatically clear cache Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Automatically clear cache * Resolved [heydonovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heydonovan/) * (@heydonovan) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/) * Hi there! We are constantly having to monitor the cache directory for this plugin, as there doesn’t seem to be any automated process for purging it. Just tonight, I had to clear a cache directory that was 24GB in size, running the latest version: * Version 1.11.4-pro * Let me know if you have plans to add a purge feature , or better, if the feature already exists, how I might be able to turn it on. Thanks! 🙂 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) * [asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) * (@asaracena) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631893) * I beg you to add a clear cache button in your plugin – we just installed it, used it for one day and there were 30+ folders added – each with a single php file inside. * I wouldn’t have even known this issue existed were it not for WordFence flagging the changed files. * Thank you! * [Nicola Peluchetti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicolapeluchetti/) * (@nicolapeluchetti) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631894) * [@heydonovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heydonovan/) it’s a more complex issues, it’s related to google crawlers. We have some code in place in version 2.0 to automatically modify the robots.txt file to stop the crawling. If you tell me the address of the calendar page i can tell you what to add to the robots. txt. If you want to upgrade to 2.0 ( which basically requires much less processing power and memory ) please contact [our website for help on upgrading](http://time.ly) as some things have changed and remember perform backups before upgrading. * [@asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) what version are you using? * [asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) * (@asaracena) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631895) * I just downloaded it yesterday so I assume it’s 2.1.9 (and using latest version of WordPress – 4.0.1). I cleared the cache using FTP and doing this totally trashed the calendar – there was nothing left but the one event we posted – and that was only a paragraph. The entire calendar format was just gone. * I’ve uninstalled it for now. If you have a suggestion please let me know. My partner really liked that calendar. * [Nicola Peluchetti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicolapeluchetti/) * (@nicolapeluchetti) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631896) * exactly what did you clear?Because we have a cache folder which ships with the plugin where pre compiled twig templates are stored. You could try to delete the folder with ftp and re-copy it * [asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) * (@asaracena) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631897) * Since I was getting too many messages from WordFence like this: Warnings: * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/cache/twig/ 9c/3c/1820db174d7efba416743bbb9bf744e8454155f8129f69296092b49c45d3.php * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/cache/twig/aa/61/6d3f918f480e4f6f0dabdeee1324d87d759ec18352a21a1cfcee8802f528. php * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/cache/ twig/dc/78/b950182efb8f436b144938fb0dc48cf395d7daabe20293234dbcf2b26545.php * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/cache/twig/ e2/c5/4407992fc7f64fc763c8fa820f4d1ef92de870acc466bbd2209e5965d014.php * I just deleted everything in the cache folder never thinking that there would be files necessary for the calendar to function in there. After reading your message I assume that the twig folder should not have been deleted. * [Nicola Peluchetti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicolapeluchetti/) * (@nicolapeluchetti) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/#post-4631898) * The Twig folder should not be deleted but it shouldn’t also be written by our plugin. Actually it should be written only if AI1EC_DEBUG is set to true otherwise it should just be used by twig for reading templates.

I think that there is no security issue, the worst it could be is that, for some reasons, our plugin is not using cache at it should, but it’s just compiling twig templates, nothing more Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Automatically clear cache’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/all-in-one-event-calendar.svg) * [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-event-calendar/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-event-calendar/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-event-calendar/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-event-calendar/reviews/) * 18 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [joshhowenstine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshhowenstine/) * Last activity: [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-clear-cache/page/2/#post-4631910) * Status: resolved
