Programmatically purge cache of an URL

    Hi,

    We have a custom plugin which dynamically creates pages with the following structure:

    www.mysite.com/custom-post-type/parameter1/parameter2/

    The pages are populated with data from text files. On the pages there’s a button to refresh the data which will result in an updated text file.

    How can we programmatically purge the URL when the text file gets updated?

    Thanks

    $cacheController = new SWCFPC_Cache_Controller();
$urls = array();
$urls[] = 'https://www.mysite.com/custom-post-type/parameter1/parameter2/';
$cacheController->purge_urls($urls);

    Will that work?

    Hi @nicoter ,
    try this one and let me know if it works for you:

    global $sw_cloudflare_pagecache;

$urls = array("first url here", "second url here");
$error = "";

if( ! $sw_cloudflare_pagecache->objects["cache_controller"]->purge_cache_urls($urls, $error) )
	echo "Error while purging the cache: $error";

    Hi. @salvatorefresta tried your code but that doesn’t work.
    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot access private property SW_CLOUDFLARE_PAGECACHE::$objects

    You’re right, try with this one:

    global $sw_cloudflare_pagecache;

$objects = $sw_cloudflare_pagecache->get_objects();
$urls    = array("first url here", "second url here");

$objects["cache_controller"]->purge_urls($urls, false);

    If you want purge the whole Cloudflare cache:

    $objects["cache_controller"]->purge_all(true, false);

    Let me know

    You’re welcome.

    Starting from v4.3.7, you can also purge the cache using the following two commands:

    // Full cache purging
do_action("swcfpc_purge_cache");

// Partial cache purging
do_action("swcfpc_purge_cache", array("https://example.com/some-page/", "https://example.com/other-page/"));
