WPEngine Varnish Cache IP Address + Cloudflare

  • On the configuration screen you suggest getting in touch with WPEngine to get their Varnish Cache config (IP address). I spoke with WPEngine Tech Support, and they claim there is no separate IP address.

    In addition to this, we are using Cloudflare, where it’s suggested to use your Server IP address in the “Custom IP” box.

    What should I be using in this case? I’ve tried both my website IP address and a blank box, and the Varnish purge does not appear to be happening, as a custom post I update does not reflect on the public view of the site.

    Thank you very much.

    I spoke with WPEngine Tech Support, and they claim there is no separate IP address.

    Then the IP address is the same as your server’s IP, most of the time.

    I’ve tried both my website IP address

    Okay if that didn’t work, try ‘localhost’

    If that doesn’t work, ask WP Engine if you’re on Nginx.

    Thank you for your reply. I tried ‘localhost,’ ‘127.0.0.1’ and the website IP. Same behavior–the pages do not show updated content. It still gives me the notification at the top “Varnish Cache Cleared,” but I suppose that happens no matter what.

    The server is indeed Nginx.

    Anything else I can try? Thanks!
