Hey Folks,
As the WP Plugin Support doesn’t seem to be available so I am creating the thread here because this issue is very critical for people using the official Cloudflare Plugin and having APO enabled.
After updating to the latest version which is 4.8.0, the plugin isn’t purging the Cloudflare Cache whenever we update the articles/pages content. At the front end, it’s the old stale content being served from the Cloudflare servers.
Edit: The latest Plugin Update with Version 4.8.1 has resolved this issue.
Secondly, we ensure the zone doesn’t have APO enabled. APO is a feature that
relies on custom purge logic we don’t want to duplicate here so just skip it if
it exists.
and
Only purge cachable file extensions unless we find hints in page rules or APO
is enabled
By default, caching within Cloudflare is restricted to a handful of file extensions. However, within the plugin, we just pass it all the
cache purge irrespective of the file extension or zone configuration. This
means we’re sending a boat load more URLs to the service than what we will
never be purging.
Thanks for your input, buddy. I expected a quick resolution from Cloudflare Team when the issue is so critical and affects a lot of paid users. But they haven’t even responded properly despite the issue raised more than 30 hours ago.
