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.

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.
