Manually Clearing Cache

    Is there any reason I shouldn’t manage my own cache by manually removing files and folders in cache/all?

    What I have is a high traffic site with hundreds of “pages”. Some are subject to occasional updates, most not. It looks to me like this plugin clears the entire cache at one time, is that correct? I’d prefer to stagger things such that some folders get cleared hourly, some daily and some weekly. Does that work? Thanks.

    PS — I started doing this using the system cron, but curious whether this might cause some problem or not.

    Did I understand correctly?

    – abc.com/blog -> clear every 6 hours
    – abc.com/news -> don’t clear

    do you want such feature?

    You understand the situation, yes.

    While I think such a feature is indeed useful, my real question is whether if I do this myself using system cron, could this in any way cause a problem with this plugin? I am not familiar with the code.

    For this particular situation, I would actually prefer to manage when specific items are cleared. Thanks.

    If you cannot write code very well, you cannot implement it. and I don’t wanna implement such feature because WPFC has 600.000 users and you are the only one who asks for this feature ??

    Thats perfectly fine. I can write pretty decent code (started programming in 1993), but I don’t have time or enough motivation for this.

    My real question is not for you to implement this. It is if I am causing any kind of problem with your plugin, by manually deleting parts of the cache under cache/all myself. It doesn’t seem so, but want to make sure.

    I actually prefer managing the cache lifetime this way, rather than the plugin doing it. Thanks.

    noo noo. You won’t have any problem if you delete part of cache. but you should NOT delete “minified js” and “minify css”.
