Doesn’t Purge Cloudflare Addon Cache for Subdirectory based WP

    Dear Breeze Plugin Developer,

    Please read this topic properly.

    I am experiencing an issue with the Cloudflare Enterprise addon on my subdomain at subdomain.example.com/hi/.

    The problem arises when I update the ‘hello world’ post at subdirectory, as the cache doesn’t get purged. I have verified this multiple times, and the cache remains unchanged until I purge from Breeze cache plugin installed at subdomain.example.com WordPress.

    I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a official way to disable the Cloudflare Edge Cache specifically for the subdirectory based WordPress. Excluding via Breeze isn’t possible for the subdirectory.

    As a solution I switched to W3TC (https://i.imgur.com/D0jS7mD.png)

    Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I expect that you add Automatic Cache purge solution for Subdirectories as well.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Gulshan

    It means Internal cache not purged while update post. Please confirm cache files created under Breeze cache folder. If files are created it must be remove while update content in post/page editor. It would better ?create ticket?at our support Centre than share the findings related to the point of conflict. We will investigate and share the point of conflict.

    Sorry, Internal cache isn’t into picture here.

    The problem is Breeze doesn’t purge the Cloudflare cache for the subdirectory based WordPress, as I can see the ‘Age’ header value keep increasing every seconds.

    That’s my concern.

    Let suppose you’ve installed WordPress at https://subdomain.example.com where Cloudflare Enterprise addon is enabled. Breeze works fine on this primay site. No problem here.

    But I do have a subdirectory based WordPress for the Hindi Language at https://subdomain.example.com/hi/

    So, at this subdirectory I have Breeze installed. Technically, since subdomain and its subdirectory share same IP address, CF is active here as well which is correct. But why Breeeze can’t purge cache taking SITE_URL into consideration? Please fix your plugin.

    6 months later, I have checked again.

    My WordPress is installed at /hi/ subdirectory. https://subdomain.example.com/hi/wp-admin/index.php

    When I click on the “Purge All Cache” in the WordPress Admin Bar, cache doesn’t get cleared.

    I also have WP at https://subdomain.example.com/wp-admin/index.php
    When I follow same step as above, then purge works.

    Ideally, if I want to clear the homepage or anything of subdirectory, purge should work from the Admin Toolbar seperately from the subdirectory as well.

    Inside wp-config.php, I can see below things are set in both WP instances. I am not sure from where this ste ID is coming, it’s same in my case.

    define( ‘CDN_SITE_ID’, ‘XXXXXX’ );
    define( ‘CDN_SITE_TOKEN’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXX’ );

    Update: I realized when I update post, it works fine. But I want to clear the homepage cache after adding meta tags. So in that case I had to do from the main site.

    I suggest you to check this feature from the Subdirectory.
