Deleting the WordPress cache is essential for ensuring your website displays the latest content and updates. There are several ways to achieve this, depending on the caching plugin you use.
1. Using the Plugin's Interface
- Most caching plugins provide a dedicated interface for clearing the cache.
- Look for a "Purge Cache" or "Clear Cache" button within the plugin's settings.
- Click on this button to initiate the cache deletion process.
2. Using a Plugin's Specific Functions
- Some plugins offer more granular control over cache management.
- You might find options to clear the cache for specific pages, posts, or even the entire website.
- Refer to your plugin's documentation for detailed instructions on how to utilize these functions.
3. Clearing Cache from the WordPress Dashboard
- Navigate to "Settings" > "Permalinks" in your WordPress dashboard.
- Save the permalink settings without making any changes. This action often triggers a cache refresh.
4. Manually Deleting Cache Files
- If you're comfortable with file management, you can manually delete cache files.
- These files are typically located in the
wp-content/cachedirectory. - Use caution when deleting files, as removing incorrect files can disrupt your website's functionality.
5. Using a Web Hosting Control Panel
- Some web hosting providers offer tools for clearing the cache directly within their control panel.
- Check your hosting provider's documentation for instructions on how to utilize these tools.
Remember to consult your specific caching plugin's documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions on how to clear the cache.
