FAQ
-
Does the plugin break if a cache plugin is not installed?
-
No. All cache calls are conditional — the plugin only purges caches that are detected as active.
-
Can I choose which caches to purge?
-
Yes. By default, auto-detection is enabled and all available caches are purged. You can disable auto-detection and select specific cache systems in the settings.
-
How does the maintenance alert work?
-
When WordPress enters maintenance mode (during updates), a
.maintenancefile is created. If this file persists longer than the configured delay (default: 5 minutes), an email alert is sent to the designated administrators. -
What are designated administrators?
-
You can select one or more administrators who will receive maintenance alerts and be the only ones to see available updates. Other administrators will not see update notifications.
-
Can I add support for a custom cache system?
-
Yes. Use the
azka_umc_register_handleraction hook to register your own handler implementing theCache_Handlerinterface.
