@futtta – Oh darn, missed out on the party. 😛

I decided to go your route with wp_schedule_event.

functions.php

add_action('wp', 'sched_wplytermcache_function');

	function sched_wplytermcache_function() {
		if (! wp_next_scheduled ( 'my_hourly_event' )) {
		wp_schedule_event(time(), 'hourly', 'my_hourly_event');
		}
	}

add_action('my_hourly_event', 'exec_wp_lyte_rm_cache');

	function exec_wp_lyte_rm_cache() {
		if ( function_exists( 'lyte_rm_cache' ) ) {
		lyte_rm_cache();
		}
	}

However, the function did not work. I even tried to call wp-cron manually:

http://www.example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1

I then installed a plugin called “WP Control” and it showed that the even was not scheduled.

Could you please code it how you think it should look? I cannot seem to grasp this. 🙁 I really love this plugin.

Thank you.

Frank I am trying really hard to understand. Please excuse my ignorance. I tried the following code which is the proper way to load WP environment externally.

<?php require( 'wp-load.php' );
if ( function_exists( 'lyte_rm_cache' ) ) {
lyte_rm_cache();
}

However, this is not working. This is the same code I use for another plugin called WP Rocket to clear the cache and it works.

<?php require( 'wp-load.php' );
if ( function_exists( 'rocket_clean_domain' ) ) {
rocket_clean_domain();
}

The developer explained this here : http://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/494-how-to-clear-cache-via-cron-job

Could you please help me to understand how to do something similar? I can pay you if you feel I am wasting your time.

Thank you!

Can you please tell me where I am going wrong?

<?php 

require_once('/home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/wp-youtube-lyte.php' );

	lyte_rm_cache(); 
?>

Why is passing an anonymous function not clearing the cache since it’s already defined in options.php?

/** function to flush YT responses from cache */
function lyte_rm_cache() {
	try {
		$lyte_posts=json_decode(get_option('lyte_cache_index'),true);
		if (is_array($lyte_posts)){
			foreach ($lyte_posts as $postID => $lyte_post) {
				foreach ($lyte_post as $cachekey) {
					delete_post_meta($postID, $cachekey);
				}
			}
			delete_option('lyte_cache_index');
		}
		return "OK";
	} catch(Exception $e) {
		return $e->getMessage();
	}
}

Thank you.

Is there a way to schedule a cron job so that every 30 minutes I can clear lyte cache? If not, I will try your suggestion.

Thank you again Frank. You’re the best.

Hi Frank,

All API keys that I have are working for every plugin that requires it. However, with this plugin, I am getting “Client errors (4xx)” in my API Dashboard. I tested my key using this URL :

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=<vid-id>&key=<my-key>

This is the error I received in the JSON response :

{
“error”: {
“errors”: [
{
“domain”: “usageLimits”,
“reason”: “ipRefererBlocked”,
“message”: “The request did not specify any referer. Please ensure that the client is sending referer or use the API Console to remove the referer restrictions.”,
“extendedHelp”: “https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?project=462388451704”
}
],
“code”: 403,
“message”: “The request did not specify any referer. Please ensure that the client is sending referer or use the API Console to remove the referer restrictions.”
}
}

Can you please update your plugin to specify the referrer which could be the IP or domain name, please?

Thank you!

Hi,

Great! That worked beautifully.

Now, you should make the interface more user-friendly and charge for this plug-in. I could barely find any plugins like this on the market, we need them more than you think. 🙂

Thanks!
