Can’t purge single pages

Can you recheck your ghlobal API in case you are using correct API keys and stuffs? Try resetting the plugin on a smaller site to see if that works. Also try purging a single page from cloudflare dashboard and see if that works.

Okay, I tried this:

Checked and re-entered Global API. Okay.
Force Purged everything.
Purged cache on Cloudflare dashboard.
Disabled cache on the plugin.
Reset all.
Set up the plugin again.

Result? The same. I still can’t purge a page with the plugin or on the Cloudflare dashboard. I tried toggling Development mode on and off, but no joy.

@bobsled
I’ve created a ticket on cloudflare here (https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/2196125) since single page purge is still not working on my side… not sure if it’s related to CF or the plugin though (everything was working fine until 2 days ago for me)

Thanks for the update @bluisier

I’m not sure this is normal @isaumya

In the log, when I purge a page, the first line is always “queue file not exist”.

Hi @bobsled,
yes the log is fine. Enable the log verbosity to High and then purge a single page and see what response you get from Cloudflare API

This is what I get:

I posted the results of the high verbosity log @isaumya

But it went to moderation. Hopefully, you can access it.

Sorry, I don’t see any high verbosity log.

It’s out of moderation, so you should be able to see it now.

As I can see in the above response the Cloudflare API is returning success. Don’t know what’s going on. You should contact Cloudflare asking why the cache is not getting cleared despite the API is returning success true.

Yes, I started a tread on Cloudflare support.

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/single-file-cache-purging-not-working/281900/7

I have just sent a new support request as well.

Thanks for all your help @isaumya but it certainly looks like it’s a Cloudflare problem and not with the plugin.

Hey @bobsled,
Let me ask you this:
Do you have Argo enabled on the site?

No, I don’t use Argo, @isaumya

OK. I can confirm that the issue you are explaining above exists and I can also experience it on my client sites. Not sure when CF team will fix the issue.
