This plugin automatically purges the Nginx cache after you make a website change such as updating a post or changing your theme.
You also have the ability to manually purge the cache using a button in the WordPress admin bar.
Manage your Hestia cache in a better way by using these steps to install the plugin.
Installing and activating the plugin
- 01Install Hestia Nginx Cache automatically or by uploading the ZIP file.
- 02Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
Getting API access
If you are not the server administrator, you can skip this step.
- 03Login as the system administrator account and navigate to the server configuration page.
- 04Enable API access for all users in the Security > System section.
- 05In the “Allowed IP addresses for API” box, enter both 127.0.0.1 and your server’s public IP.
Generating an Access key
- 06Log in as your regular user in the Hestia Control Panel and navigate to your user settings.
- 07Click on the “Access Key” button, and create a new access key with the purge-nginx-cache permission. Make sure to save the Secret key, as you will only see it once.
If you do not see the “Access Key” button, it means that the feature is disabled on the server. If you are the administrator, refer to the previous section to enable it. If not, contact your server administrator so that they can enable the API access.
