Purge pages but not widgets

If Varnish sees a purge like that, it should be flushing the whole site.

Does the Purge All button work? It sounds like you don’t have wild cards working for your varnish set up.

Thanks for your response. I had another look at my config file. Also I did have a purge command in there, it didn’t seem to be the right one – so, I added this to sub_recv:

if (req.request == “PURGE”) {
if (!client.ip ~purge){
error 405 “Not allowed”;
}
ban(“req.http.host == ” +req.http.host+” && req.url ~ “+req.url);
error 200 “Ban added”;

}

This seemed to do the trick. I hadn’t thought about changing the purge command as the other one seemed to work for pages and posts. It seems that the ban information seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your suggestion!

Awesome! What version of varnish are you on? If I need to add that to my docs, I’m totally happy to do it ??

I am using Varnish 3.0.7 although I suspect most people would be using version 4 by now!

Not entirely sure whether this is the correct way to do this but it works for me so I’m happy at the moment! ??
