Title: Automatic Cache Flusher for W3 Total Cache Author: Stach Redeker Published: March 29, 2023 Last modified: December 27, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total- cache.svg) # Automatic Cache Flusher for W3 Total Cache By [Stach Redeker](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stachredeker/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache.1.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache/#description) * [Reviews](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache/#reviews) * [Installation](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache/#installation) * [Development](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/automatic-cache-flusher-for-w3-total-cache/) ## Description W3 Total Cache recommends clearing your cache after a (plugin) update to prevent cache conflicts. Currently, there is no setting that does this automatically for you. W3 Total Cache shows a banner with a ‘clear cache’ button after an update, but you need to click it yourself. What a waste of precious mouse clicks. Also, the banner ‘solution’ is not practical if you use 3rd party software to update your plugins, such as Installatron or ManageWP. #### When you need this plugin You need this plugin if you are looking for a simple, no-code solution for preventing cache conflicts with W3 Total Cache after a plugin, theme, core, or translation update. #### When you do not need this plugin If you are familiar with child themes, then you can add [some code](https://github.com/StachRedeker/Automatic-Cache-Flusher-for-W3-Total-Cache/) to your child theme to achieve the same functionality. #### Privacy notices This plugin does not: * track users; * write any user personal data to the database; * send any data to external servers; * use cookies. ### Support Issues with ‘Automatic Cache Flusher for W3 Total Cache’ fall within the scope of the support, issues with W3 Total Cache do not.
