Scheduling cache folder cleanup

    Hello, thank you for the great plugin.

    Is there a way to schedule a cleanup of the cache folder from inside WordPress?

    Alternatively, could you tell me where, in your plugin files, I could safely add a “insert(‘myscript.php’);” line to have some code executed before the plugin runs?

    The code would check the current date against a value stored in a database and eventually empty the cache folder if criteria are met. I’d do this without the need of WP to be loaded, minimising the added overhead.

    Hi, you should write a specific plugin for that and just clean the cache folder of hyper cache as needed. There is no need to hack the plugin code, IMHO.

    hello Stefano,

    I successfully achieved my goal by adding an insert statement at the very top of the advanced-cache.php
    file in the wp-content folder.

    That is, of course, an hack; I’d rather, like you suggested, have my own plugin firing before yours, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that.

    furthermore, if you’d be available to hire to help me with that, please, do not hesitate to contact me.
    thank you!
