Is there an API call that clears the cache?
Question: Is there an API call that clears the cache?
Answer: Yes, Comet Cache exposes an API method that makes this possible.
Here is a quick example of how to handle this in PHP code.
<?php
comet_cache::clear();
TIP: If you want to make it possible to call this remotely, you might put together a Must-Use plugin in WordPress, where the MU plugin is just one file that exposes this functionality.
Create the following directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/cc-clear.php
<?php
add_action('init', function()
{
if(!empty($_GET['cc_clear']) && $_GET['cc_clear'] === 'my-secret-key')
{ comet_cache::clear(); exit('cache cleared'); }
});
Now you would be able to call upon the Comet Cache API remotely by including your secret key.
