Hello @vsix
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please share your website URL? Have you tried to reload the page when the post is edited or a new post added?
Are you trying to check the from the page as logged in user or incognito?
Thank you!

Hi @vmarko,
You can find a test blog at http://www.kombo.org.
That’s the problem, reloading does not change anything cause the cache is not purged…
When I’m logged all is fine (cause I’ve enabled the option to by-pass cache when logged in), but I can’t see any changes in incognito mode :/
Hello @vsix
When you edit a post or the article and purge the cache, do you see the updated front page?
Thanks!

Hi @vmarko,
When I purge the cache manually the front page is updated.

Also, what settings do you have enabled in Performance>Browser Cache>HTML&XML?

Hi @vmarko,
Problem is the same, my home page is not up to date as opposed to my terms pages.

Ok I figured out.
- When I use the wordpress admin editor, everything is fine, my front page is updated even in incognito mode.
- When I use the wp-cli command line too to publish a new post, the front page is not updated, here is the main problem.
I think there is an event triggered from wordpress graphical UI that is not in the wp-cli, that’s why W3TC does not purge the cache correctly when using wp-cli.
How do you technically trigger the cache purge when a new post come ?
Hello @vsix
Thank you for the information.
YOu can use wp-cli to purge the cache.
wp w3-total-cache flush an-attribute-below

Hello @vmarko,
I find out where my problem was.
I’m using the bitnami/bitnami-docker-wordpress container, and by default in the wp-config.php, WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME are set to http://127.0.0.1 when using wp-cli. That’s why when I’m using wp-cli to add a new post, it does not trigger the purge. After some researches, I find out that W3TC names the cache folder with WP_SITEURL, so obviously, when I use wp-cli, it tries to purge a folder named 127.0.0.1 instead of the correct cache folder of my website.
Since it’s not really a problem with W3TC I opened an issue on bitnami/bitnami-docker-wordpress (https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-wordpress/issues/236).
Many thanks for your help :).
