Purge All Pages Not Working

    I tried using the Purge Cache (all pages) from the toolbar,
    but noticed pages were still using old cache.
    Interestingly, the Purge Cache (this page) worked perfectly,
    and I resorted to just manually purging all pages individually.
    I did not test if all pages were unaffected or just some.

    This plugin was incredibly useful and saved me in an emergency as I did not have access to the host backend.
    But I hope next time I won’t need to manually purge each page.

    Wondering why the “This Page” works, but not the “All Pages”
    Perhaps there is a setting I missed?
    I did not tweak anything in the settings page after install.

    Thanks

    It’s not a setting you missed, but it may be that your server is not properly configured to work with it. I tried to see who your host is, but WhoIsHostingThis says ‘Yahoo’ and I don’t think they have WP hosting… Could be wrong. But that does suggest the issue is in the server.

    This is a little technical, and if you’re not the server-admin kick them the link – https://github.com/Ipstenu/varnish-http-purge/wiki/varnish

    The tl;dr explanation is that in order to do a ‘full’ purge, we have to send a special message (via a request method) to Varnish. But if Varnish isn’t ‘taught’ what to do when it gets that message, it cannot do a full purge.

    By default, the code sends a request method of PURGE. When you want a full purge, we send that message with an extra “http.X-Purge-Method” of regex, which then kicks off the flush.

    You can see a functional example of the purge calls for Varnish here – https://github.com/Ipstenu/varnish-http-purge/wiki/purge.vcl

    Likely the issue is your server doesn’t have the regex part set up, since the per-page purge works.
