Timout Rules

it is related to WP_CRON system and it works when a visitor comes to a page. I recommend you to add a cronjob as below.

We have running cron (https://www.your-url.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron) with 5 minutes period.

I believe what you suggest with your url is to replace the admin clear cache system with clear cache via url. That is not what I want. I want to use the admin option but I believe it is not working correctly. It clears cache only of one of the three rules.

We have running cron (https://www.your-url.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron) with 5 minutes period.

then you do not need to add a cronjob.

I want to use the admin option but I believe it is not working correctly. It clears cache only of one of the three rules.

can you take a screenshot of the timeout rules and share with me please?

Sure: https://test.prepsite.cz/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/timeout-rules.png. I have also testing site prepared for you, if you are interested.

how did you make sure that it did not clear? ddi you check the cache creation date?

I checked the cache creation date/time plus double checked the files on ftp. It looks like only the first rule/task is the cron task list does the job.

the url must be like /spustte-si-kurz-zdarma/sample.
if the url is like spustte-si-kurz-zdarma-sample, the url is not cleared.

I am not sure I fully understand your example. The urls in my case are:

https://test.prepsite.cz/technicka-podpora/
https://test.prepsite.cz/spustte-si-kurz-zdarma/
https://test.prepsite.cz/registrace-spatne-zadana-adresa/

The rules are in this picture (I have set the 5 minutes cache clearing period, cron 1 minute period for now to be able to test it quickly): https://test.prepsite.cz/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/timeout-rules-2.png.

let’s test it. this is current time.

WP Fastest Cache file was created in 0.679132938385 seconds, on 19-01-22 14:26:24

Here are the cron tasks: https://test.prepsite.cz/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/cron-tasks.png.

If you look at the three pages and the cron tasks, you can see that only the first task clears the cache.

Also, if I have this rule: https://test.prepsite.cz/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/star-rule.png, only the /pre-event-1/ page gets cache cleared. Not pages /pre-event-1a/, /pre-event-1b/.

the time is as below.

16:10
/technicka-podpora/: 16:10:23
/spustte-si-kurz-zdarma/ 16:04:40
/registrace-spatne-zadana-adresa/ 16:05:52
16:15
/technicka-podpora/: 16:14:53
/spustte-si-kurz-zdarma/ 16:04:40
/registrace-spatne-zadana-adresa/ 16:05:52
16:19
/technicka-podpora/: 16:19:41
/spustte-si-kurz-zdarma/ 16:04:40
/registrace-spatne-zadana-adresa/ 16:05:52

and now a different time. The cache timeout seems to be working.

Yes, I am testing it now. It looks like when the first page gets cleared and not regenerated by preload or visitor, then the next page gets served during the next cron period.
