How to Allow Editors to Purge Cache in WordPress

Updated over a week ago

The "Allow Editors to purge cache" feature lets your site editors clear the NitroPack cache for individual pages or posts directly from the WordPress editor. This gives them more control over content updates and ensures visitors always see the most up-to-date version of a page.

Why Use "Allow Editors to Purge Cache"?

Allowing editors to purge the cache gives them more control over how and when updates go live. It ensures that visitors always see the most accurate version of a page, reduces admin workload, and speeds up the publishing process.

Here are some common scenarios where this feature is especially useful:

  • After updating a page or post – Editors can immediately purge the cache to ensure their changes are reflected on the live site.

  • When content isn't displaying correctly – If a page looks outdated due to caching issues, editors can clear the cache without waiting for admin support.

  • During frequent content changes – For blogs, news updates, or dynamic landing pages, this feature helps maintain a faster and more independent editing workflow. Editors don’t need to rely on site admins to clear the cache, speeding up the entire process.

How to Enable the Feature in WordPress

Follow these steps to allow editors to purge the cache:

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard (wp-admin)

  2. Go to NitroPack > Settings

  3. Find the option "Allow Editors to purge cache"

  4. Toggle the switch to enable it

Once enabled, editors will see a NitroPack section in the page/post editor where they can choose from invalidating or purging the cache.
