Clear cache at a certain time each day

Hi @pixelshrink,

The ticket you are referring to is quite old when there wasn’t a feature to set cache intervals. Hummingbird does offer out of the box setting to set Time intervals so that the cache would get cleared automatically.

You can find the setting under Hummingbird > Caching > Page Caching > Cache interval:

Could you please check and see whether the above setting fits your needs?

Please do let us know if you still need any further assistance. Have a nice day ahead.

Kind Regards,

Hi, thanks very much for that. What I want is to clear the cache at a specific time though, not just an interval – is that possible?

Hi @pixelshrink

I hope you are doing well.

It is possible with a custom code, https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/hummingbird-api-docs/#action-wphb_clear_page_cache

So you can create your cronjob to trigger it in a specific hour https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/179694/wp-schedule-event-every-day-at-specific-time

Thanks very much. I don’t suppose you have a code snippet available? One of your developers seemed to already come up with a solution on https://wpmudev.com/forums/topic/setting-hummingbird-to-auto-clear-cache/, I was wondering if you could send me what they did.

Hi @pixelshrink

You can test this code:

<?php

// Set specific time
wp_schedule_event( strtotime('17:40:00'), 'daily', 'hb_custom_call_function' );

///hook to fire
 add_action( 'hb_custom_call_function', 'hb_custom_function' );

//create your function, that runs on cron
function hb_custom_function() {
   	// Clear all the cache
	do_action( 'wphb_clear_page_cache' );
}

It is sets to run every day at 17:40:00,

You can use it as a mu-plugin https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

Hello @pixelshrink ,

We haven’t heard from you for several days now, so it looks like you don’t have more questions for us.

Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.

Kind regards
