Correct cron settings?
-
Hello,
I want to use advanced configuration of Cache Enabler plugin and I need to create crone for automatic cache clearing.
In your documentation you write
“Add the following command to your cron job once ”
*/1 * * * * rm -rf /path/to/your/wordpress/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/I do not have experience with cron task and my webhosting provider allow me only to specify Script URL.
Please, can you advice me what exactly I have to write to input field? (see image https://www.screencast.com/t/dmzkCVya)
All wordpress files I have in “www” folder on my FTP.
So I write this:
www/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/It does not seem to me that cron with this entry would be able to clear the cache.
Thank you,
David

On a CentOS server (and I am guessing most others), you would SSH into the server as root (or at least an access right to create an executable cron job) and issue the command:
crontab -ethen you would type your example command below any others already displayed:
*/1 * * * * rm -rf /path/to/your/wordpress/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/save your cron and exit.
Note: Just in case, you might want to make sure you backup any cron entries already displayed (when you run the crontab -e command).
I hope this helps you out a bit!
