    I need to set a cron to clear the cache at a pre set time each day. I see from your documentation a brief overview on this functionality. Please can you provide more detailed instruction on how to set this up, where to add the code and what the url structure would look like, with some examples:

    Auto scheduling a cache clear
    What if you want to be able to clear the cache every day at some certain time? Or by hitting a URL? If this is what you would like to do a simple script, called by cron should do the trick.

    <?php
    include ‘wp-load.php’;
    wfCache::clearPageCache();
    ?>

  • You make that file on your web server and name it cacheclear.php or bringoutyourdeadfiles.php or whatever.php and then call that from cron.

    Thank you for reply. This works great, just have to make sure the newly created file is added in the same location as the wp-load.php file in public_html.

    Many thanks again.

    Sorry, just need a little more clarification on this, I’m not familiar on setting up cron.

    To clear the cache every day at midnight?

    Create a cron to run at midnight every day with this command: wfCache::clearPageCache();

    OR:

    Create a .php file in the same directory as wp-load.php and add the following code into the page? And then create a cron to hit that page?

    <?php
include 'wp-load.php';
wfCache::clearPageCache();
?>
