Cache Purge Helper

A plugin to trigger a cache purge using the LSCache or Nginx Helper plugin when hooks are fired by popular plugins or themes.

I created a plugin with some code snippets from GridPane Staff and Community to trigger a cache purge in certain circumstances. Below you’ll find a list of hooks and their description.

Core WordPress Hooks

  • upgrader_process_complete – After a plugin, theme or core has been updated.
  • activated_plugin – After a plugin has been activated.
  • deactivated_plugin – After a plugin has been deactivated.
  • switch_theme – After a theme has been changed.

GridPane Specific Information

As always, you should have the Nginx Helper plugin installed and configured. However, it does not purge the cache when a plugin, theme or core update is completed.

If you have any issues, open an issue on the Github repository.
