Missing "clear cache" link in admin bar (Pro version) on Multisite for nonadmin users

[Neal81]

Hi,
I'm upgrading to Pro version today.

My first problem is, that I'm missing "clear cache" link in admin bar (only for "nonadmin" logged users (editors). I have latest WP (3.8.1) and Multiste.. It's allright or?

I noticed, that when I create a new post - new feature of the Pro version is, that this post isn't cached - right? I see a new post on the web (one sidebar or on homepage, where i have a custom query) - that's ok - but when i'm on category page.. this new post is missing - post type "category" is cached.. BUG?

Thanx for answers..

Hello,

My first problem is, that I'm missing "clear cache" link in admin bar (only for "nonadmin" logged users (editors). I have latest WP (3.8.1) and Multiste.. It's allright or?

That is expected behavior. Non-Administrator accounts do not have permission to clear the cache, so the Clear Cache button doesn't show up. Only Administrators can clear the cache.

I noticed, that when I create a new post - new feature of the Pro version is, that this post isn't cached - right?

No, that's not correct. New posts are cached. However, if you're logged into WordPress, you won't see the cached version of the post because by default caching is disabled for logged-in users.

I see a new post on the web (one sidebar or on homepage, where i have a custom query) - that's ok - but when i'm on category page.. this new post is missing - post type "category" is cached.. BUG?

That's because the category page is being cached. When a new post is published, only the Home Page and the Posts Page caches are cleared, not the category cache.

There is a feature request open (#57) for clearing the category/tag page caches when a new post is published. That's on my TODO list and should resolve the issue you're seeing there. In the meantime, please take a look at my comment in #57 for my recommendations.

Hello,

thank you for your reaply..

I saw in the forum, that you have in TODO list a feature, where nonadmin users like Editors have permission to clear cache, that would be good, because 99% users on my multisite are "editors", they have not be admin user .. so I have a big problem with this cache plugin to work a website fine..

If a wrote, that i see a new created post on website, i'm in a new browser, where i'm not logged..

I looked at #57 feature request - it's good to see, there is a chance exclude category from being cached - but my multisite have a lot of posts and categories and only about 4-5 static pages. So if i exclude category from cache - i mean this plugin lost a sence.. :/ i'm right?

Yes, that's true. You'll lose out on the caching of your category pages.

The other option is to write a MU-Plugin that clears the cache dynamically when someone posts a new post. However, if you only want to clear the cache for the category pages, then you'll need to write some code to reverse-engineer the cache filename so you know which cache file to delete. All of the source code is provided, so a knowledgeable PHP programmer shouldn't have too much trouble doing that.

Otherwise, I recommend waiting until #57 is finished.

Thank you for your suggestion to dynamicaly clear the cache - a used this "action" in my functions.php and works great - i mean, that this feature substitute me the "clear cache" link on admin bar..

A last question - when someone posts a new post/page, a hope the cache is cleared only for particular web and post/page in multisite (i used the same code above) - i'm right?
