Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/azanumer/wp-cloudflare-cache-purge/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/azanumer/wp-cloudflare-cache-purge ↗

Stops the classic "I updated the post but visitors still see the old page" problem: whenever content changes, this plugin purges Cloudflare's edge cache automatically.

What triggers a purge

Event Purge
Post published or updated That post's URL (+ homepage, if enabled)
Post deleted That post's URL
Comment approved The commented post's URL
Theme switched Everything (templates and assets all change)

Setup

  1. Cloudflare dashboard → My Profile → API Tokens → create a token with Zone:Cache Purge permission, scoped to this zone only.
  2. Settings → Cloudflare Purge — paste the Zone ID (from the zone's overview page) and the token.
  3. Choose Changed URLs only (recommended) or Everything on every change.

The settings page also has a Purge everything now button and shows the last purge result (time, success/failure, error message).

Notes

  • URL purges are chunked to Cloudflare's 30-URL limit per request.
  • Filter wccp_urls_to_purge lets a theme add extra URLs (archive pages, feeds) to a purge.
  • The API token is stored in wp_options and sent only to api.cloudflare.com — never to any third party.
