Clear Cache Everywhere allows administrators to instantly clear various cache sources directly from the WordPress admin bar. This ensures changes are reflected immediately without waiting for cache expiration.
Features:
One-Click Cache Clearing: Clears WordPress object cache, page cache, all transients, and sessions with a single click.
Browser Cache Clearing: Forces all visitors to reload fresh content by invalidating the browser cache.
Admin Bar Access: Provides quick cache purging directly from the WordPress admin bar with an easy-to-use button (eraser icon).
Hosting Integration: Optionally clears hosting-level cache if a purge URL is provided in the settings.
Third-Party Support: Clears cache for various supported plugins, such as Elementor, Cornerstone, and other integrations.
Developer Hooks: Developers can customize the cache clearing process using hooks to add more integrations or actions.
By default, clearing the cache will execute the following actions:
Flush Rewrite Rules: Clears WordPress rewrite rules to immediately reflect changes to permalinks.
Clear WordPress Object Cache: Clears the object cache in WordPress if enabled.
Clear All Transients: Deletes all stored transients in the WordPress database.
Destroy PHP Sessions: Clears PHP sessions if enabled.
Clear Cookies: Clears all cookies except those related to logged-in users (wordpress_logged_in_*).

FAQ
How does this plugin clear cache?
It flushes WordPress object cache, transients, sessions, rewrite rules, and any configured third-party caches. If a hosting cache purge URL is set, it will be called as well. Additionally, it forces browsers to reload fresh content.
Does this work with all hosting providers?
This depends on your hosting provider. If they offer a cache purge URL, you can configure it in the plugin settings. For example, if you have GoDaddy's Website Security and Backups, you can navigate to Firewall > Settings > Performance > Clear Cache, then grab the Clear Cache API link.
Will this force browsers to load fresh content?
Yes! The plugin sends cache-control headers to prompt browsers to reload updated content.
Can I add custom cache clearing actions?
Yes! Developers can hook into cceverywhere_after_clear_cache and cceverywhere_custom_settings:
<?php
// Action to purge a custom cache directory after clearing cache
add_action( 'cceverywhere_after_clear_cache', function() {
// Check if the custom cache purge option is enabled
$prefix = 'clear_cache_everywhere_';
if ( get_option( $prefix . 'purge_custom_cache_directory', false ) ) {
// Purge a custom cache directory
$cache_dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/cache/myplugin/';
if ( file_exists( $cache_dir ) ) {
array_map( 'unlink', glob( $cache_dir . '*' ) );
}
}
} );
// Filter to add custom settings field for the action above
add_filter( 'cceverywhere_custom_settings', function( $fields ) {
// Define a custom checkbox field
$fields[] = [
'key' => 'purge_custom_cache_directory',
'title' => __( 'Purge Custom Cache Directory', 'clear-cache-everywhere' ),
'type' => 'checkbox',
'sanitize' => 'sanitize_checkbox',
'section' => 'custom',
'default' => FALSE,
'comments' => __( 'Enable this option to automatically purge a custom cache directory (e.g., for your plugin\'s cache). The cache will be cleared after the global cache is cleared.', 'clear-cache-everywhere' ),
];
return $fields;
} );
?>
Is there a function to trigger clearing cache everywhere?
Yes! A helper function is available for you to use: cceverywhere_clear_all( $log_results = false ).
The function returns the results of the cache clearing processing. Optionally, you can log the results by setting the $log_results parameter to true. This will log the results to the debug log.
Where can I request features and get further support?
