Purge Nginx cache automatically after making website changes. Uses the HestiaCP API.
Important: Hestia 1.6.12 fixes an issue where purging the cache could make the website unavailable, resulting in a 502 error. If you aren’t using this version, please upgrade!
This plugin automatically purges the Nginx cache after you make a website change such as updating a post or changing your theme.
You also have the ability to manually purge the cache using a button in the WordPress admin bar.
FAQ
How do I generate an Access key?
Refer to the Installation tab for information on how to configure the plugin.
Can I manually purge the cache using the plugin?
Yes, you can. Once the plugin is installed and activated, you will see a “Purge Nginx Cache” button in the admin bar.
I am experiencing issues with the plugin. What do I do?
You can try to resolve the problem by purging the cache, deactivating the plugin, or disabling Nginx caching in Hestia.
If you are using Cloudflare and get an error when purging the cache, enter the hostname of the Hestia install in the settings, not the site URL.
