Clear Cache for Me vs Content No Cache | Serve uncached partial content even when you add it to a page that is fully cached.

W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache are great caching plugins, but they do not know when a widget is updated. WPEngine is the best place to host your WordPress installation, but their caching system is no smarter when it comes to updating widgets and menus. I created this plugin because my website did not see any changes when saving widgets or menus using these caching systems. Clear Cache For Me will purge ALL your cache each time you do a save without having to press an additional button. It may be overkill, which may be why it’s not built in, but some people need simplicity. In addition to clearing those pesky caching engines, Clear Cache for Me can force your browser to reload your current theme’s CSS and JS files. I modify my theme’s CSS and JS files every so often and always have trouble with the browser not getting the latest version. So now after clicking on the “Clear Cache Now!” button on the dashboard the browser will be forced to reload the current theme’s CSS and JS files. If you do not click the “Clear Cache Now!” button, the browser will cache the CSS and JS files like it normally does. The popular Qode themes has a options to set your own custom CSS and JS. Sometimes you may not see your changes for a long while because your browser is trying to get the cached file. Whenever you save your Qode’s options, the CSS and JS files will be forced to reload in the browser on the public side. Works with the following caching plugins: Autoptimize Breeze Cache Cache Enabler Cloudflare GoDaddy Cache Kinsta Cache LiteSpeed Cache Elementor (CSS cache) Premium Addons for Elementor SiteGround SuperCacher Super Page Cache WP Fastest Cache WP Optimize Cache WP Rocket WP Super Cache W3 Total Cache WPEngine Cache Clears all cache for following actions (requires a caching system above to be active): When Widgets are saved. When Customizer is saved. When Menus are saved. When a fields in Advanced Custom Fields are saved. When a Contact Form 7 form is saved. When a Formidable Form form is saved. When WooThemes settings are saved. When NextGen Gallery albums and galleries are updated (beta – may not clear cache on all actions). When Qode options are saved this plugin forces browsers to reload the custom css and custom js. When a WP Forms forms or settings are saved. When WooCommerce settings are saved. (Cache should already be clearing when products are saved.) When settings from the Insert Headers and Footers plugin by WPBeginner are saved. When Settings from a settings page is saved. This includes settings from WordPress core, Yoast SEO, and most other plugins using the Settings API. When WordPress is updated. When plugins are updated, activated, and deactivated. When WordPress, plugins, and themes are automaticallly updated. See the plugin’s homepage for more details. Note: Since some caching systems run in the shutdown hook, this plugin also runs in that hook. This means if PHP does not have enough time, some code including any hooks within the ccfm_clear_cache_for_all() function are not guaranteed to run. If you need code to run, consider using the ccfm_clear_cache_for_me_setup hook. Some plugins may have “auto purge” (like Cloudflare), but it doesn’t cover all the items this plugin covers. Developer Options ccfm_supported_caching_exists Use this filter to determine if this plugin should do anything including showing the button on the dashboard. Return true if a caching system is supported. Default: True if any of the supported caching systems is active. See Example 1 below. ccfm_admin_init or ccfm_init_actions Use this action to add hooks when cache is to be cleared. Or do any other setup activity. ccfm_clear_cache_for_me_before Use this action to clear cache from an unsupported caching system before the default caching systems clear their cache. ccfm_clear_cache_for_me Use this action to clear cache from an unsupported caching system after the default caching systems clear their cache. Example If you were using an unsupported caching system you’ll need to identify the caching plugin’s class or function which clears the cache. As an example, if the unsupported caching system called the MyOtherCache::clear_all() function, you would use the following code to get this plugin to clear the cache. <?php function my_other_cache_enable( $return = false ) { if ( class_exists( 'MyOtherCache' ) ) return true; return $return; } add_filter('ccfm_supported_caching_exists', 'my_other_cache_enable'); function my_other_cache_clear() { if ( my_other_cache_enable() ) MyOtherCache::clear_all(); } add_action('ccfm_clear_cache_for_me', 'my_other_cache_clear');

Normally, if a web page is served by the cache, its content will be always the same until the cache is deleted. By adding the content with the shortcode provided by Content No Cache, you will be able to show dynamic content even on pages served by cache. You don’t need this plugin to exclude the entire page from the cache. This plugin is to exclude a part of the page from the cache. It’s useful if you need to cache a page, but part of that page should not be cached. Imagine you have a page that has this content: Hello this is some text. Another line of text Another line of text Current day: Monday if that page is served by cache, the user will always see: Hello this is some text. Another line of text Another line of text Current day: Monday If you need that the last line of text is always updated, this plugin will help you. The entire page will be served by the cache, but the plugin will get the updated content that you need. How to show dynamic content with full page cache Install Content No Cache Create a new element “Content No Cache” Add to that element all the content that you want to exclude from the cache Copy the shortcode that you will see in the section “Shortcode”. It will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″]. The parameter “id” is the ID of the content element (in this example 3328). Add the shortcode to the page where you want to display that content. Compatible caching plugins tested with Content No Cache W3 Total Cache WP Fastest Cache WP Optimize Comet Cache Cache Enabler Hyper Cache WP Super Cache LiteSpeed Cache Speed Optmizer WPRocket All of those caching plugins are compatible with Content No Cache.

The few lines of code will run only where you add the shortcode. No jQuery, no JS libraries, only a couple of lines of pure JavaScript No database queries, no extra HTTP requests for external assets, no bloat With a few line of ultralight code you can fully cache the page even if you need dynamic content on that page It provides a shortcode, so you can add it everywhere, no matter the builder Tips to speed up the process to get the content Install Freesoul Deactivate Plugins Go to Freesoul Deactivate Plugins => Actions => Content No Cache Disable all the plugins that you don’t need to output the content Example You can see Content No Cache in action visiting the blog post Exclude specific content from being cached. You will see a number that is always different when you refresh the page. But the page is served by full page cache. In the example it’s just a number, but you can output whatever content you want. Possible conflicts Some plugins don’t load the shortcodes during ajax requests. Because Content No Cache retrieves the content through ajax, in those cases the content will not be displayed properly. If you have this kind of issue set the parameter request=”remote”. In this case the shortcode will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″ request=”remote”] The plugin will retrieve the content in a different way that will be a little slower, but this will solve this kind of conflict.
