When a WordPress cache will not clear
Cleared the cache and the old page is still there? Here is how to find which layer is serving the stale copy, from browser to CDN to server, and clear it.
Edits show up everywhere, not just on their own page.
An add-on for 20i StackCache. When you publish or edit a post, StackCache clears that post’s own URL and nothing else, so your homepage and archives keep serving the old version. This clears the rest.
One of my own plugins, built and launched to the official WordPress.org repository. Free for anyone to use.
Purges the homepage, term archives, post-type archive and main feed on every edit
Hands the purged pages to ABCode Cache Warmer, if you have it, to rebuild them straight away
A nonce-protected Purge This Page control in the admin bar, plus Purge Everything
A silent no-op without StackCache, and it says so in the admin rather than failing quietly
Purges run in a background task, so saving a post stays fast
