Title: [Bug?] Doesn’t clear custom post type archives Last modified: August 3, 2019 --- # [Bug?] Doesn’t clear custom post type archives * [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/) * (@ctrlaltdelete) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/) * Hello, when i publish a custom post type i want the post type archive cache to be cleared. Else the post will not be there. * But the plugin doesn’t do it. And there’s no option to do it? It’s clear ALL or other irrelevant archives. * I don’t want to clear thousands of posts only the archives of that type. Why isn’t this possible?

If the post type it’s “house” the url would be: `example.com/house/` * I don’t mean categories or tags, There’s an option to clear them. But there’s no option to clear the archive of the post type. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/yhbQQu0) * You can either chose “All caches” OR “home + categories + tags + pagination” * So i’m forced to chose “All”. You might say, well do that. **But i have 15,000 posts. I find it a waste of resources to clear uneeded cache.** * An option for custom post types is needed. - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/). * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11797647) * I try to understand.

You have the option to preload them: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/E3q2DSb) * If you had a bunch of custom posts of the type “house” Their urls would be: * ``` example.com/house/new-york/ example.com/house/california/ example.com/house/dallas/ ``` * And to view the archives of all “house” post you would visit: * `example.com/house/` * That last url is the archive of the custom post types that doesn’t get cleared when you post a new house. * So if i create a new “house”: * `example.com/house/chicago/` * In the archives page: `example.com/house/` I will not see it, i will see the cached version with only the first 3 “house”. * Does that make sense? * Basically what i’m saying is if i post a “house” i need the plugin to clear the cache of “house” archives. in here: [https://i.imgur.com/yhbQQu0.png](https://i.imgur.com/yhbQQu0.png) - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/). * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11798412) * every custom post does not support it. * [https://example.com/product/cars-1](https://example.com/product/cars-1) [https://example.com/product/cars-2](https://example.com/product/cars-2) [https://example.com/product/cars-3](https://example.com/product/cars-3) * For example; if you open [https://example.com/product/](https://example.com/product/), you cannot see all the products. * Thread Starter [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/) * (@ctrlaltdelete) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11798640) * It depends on what the admin needs, if `has_archive` is set to `true` when registering the new type it will work. Which is often the case since you generally want the posts to be somewhere. * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type) * Since this cache exists for the custom posts that support it, it should also be purged when a new custom post is published. * If it doesn’t exist (is disabled) then there’s no visible issue. - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/). * Thread Starter [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/) * (@ctrlaltdelete) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11799030) * Also going to for example `https://example.com/product/` and doing “Clear cache for this page” Has no effect (it loads for a sec but doesn’t delete it). * So the plugin creates the cache but doesn’t delete it specifically. The only solution is doing “Delete Cache” wich i assume deletes everything. * Basically my suggestion is, add the option to clear the custom post archive when a new custom post is created. * Else i’m forced to delete thousands of unrelated cached pages when i only need to clear 1 specific archive. * Please consider. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11799112) * you can open example.com/house/ and clear cache manually. * Thread Starter [ctrlaltdelete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ctrlaltdelete/) * (@ctrlaltdelete) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-doesnt-clear-custom-post-type-archives/#post-11799120) * Manually how?
