Delete Cache during Page Edit Clears Entire Cache

Hello @martin-oxby !

I trust you’re doing well!

I was able to replicate this behaviour on my site and when reporting this to the Hummingbird team, they’ve shared a snippet that seems to be fixing this. Can you try it on your site as well?

add_action( 'delete_transient_wphb-processing', function(){
remove_all_actions( 'wphb_clear_page_cache', 10 );
} );

You can add the code to the end of your theme’s functions.php file (if you’re using a child theme, or copy this code to a separate .php file and place it in wp-content/mu-plugins – the file name doesn’t matter as long as the extension is .php. Please don’t forget to add the opening <?php at the beginning of the file in this case.

Best regards,
Pawel

Okay I will do – so when I do this, the button in the post editor should just clear that page, yes? (before I accidentally empty the whole cache again!).

Thanks!

Hi @martin-oxby,

The provided code fixes an issue with the cache being deleted.

If the post ID is set, the button mentioned in your issue tries to clear cache for that page or post with all the related taxonomies (tags, category and author pages).

I hope the code snippet provided fix the issue that you have noticed.

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Hiya,

I added the code and I’ll try it out later when I’m not making regular changes to posts. I think it worked earlier but I had the “clear entire cache on post update” set. I’ve now disabled this – as it won’t be necessary if I can clear individual posts going forward.

I’ll reply either later today or Monday so we can see if this thread can be closed.

Thank you for sharing this.

Yep I can confirm the whole cache did not clear with the new snippet of code.

Maybe that just needs pushing into the next Hummingbird update, then?

Thanks again!

Hello @martin-oxby

I really appreciate the cooperation and update here. I’ve already shared this with our developers so we can provide a proper fix in the plugin.

Thank you,
Dimitris

However – what appears to have happened is that the whole cache is now cleared on post update even with that option disabled. Anything I can test for you?

Hi @martin-oxby

I hope you are doing well.

I tested the script on my end but I couldn’t notice issues when updating the post, can you let us know if you are using a page builder like Elementor or Divi and we can try to replicate again?

Best Regards

No page builder, I’m just using Classic Editor. I have to make changes to at least one, if not more posts tomorrow so I’ll let you know how I get on ??

Hi @martin-oxby

Thank you, please keep us posted.

Best Regards

Okay, you can close this ticket no problems. Seems like it was just a timing issue of cache and other things coming back in-line. I’ve cleared an individual post’s cache and updated a couple of other posts and in neither case was the whole cache cleared.

Thanks! And I look forward to this code snippet being brought into the full plugin.

Thanks for your patience ??
