Alternative PHP Cache, is a free open-source opcode (operation code) caching plugin for PHP. If your host has installed APC cache this plugin allows you to flush the cache from within WordPress. Once activated, go to Tools -> Purge APC to send the command to flush the APC cache.
The plugin returns either ‘Success’ or gives a detailed error message if it is unable to run the command successfully.

WARNING The development of WP-FFPC had been put on hold. 
If you need new features, please send code and pull requests to <a href="https://github.com/petermolnar/wp-ffpc" rel="nofollow ugc">WP FFPC @ Github</a>.
A short why: I developed this plugin in 2010 to support my own site. Right now, as it is, it’s working on a few sites I still maintain for friends and since I don’t need any additional features, I’m not planning to extend it with things I have no real use of. During the past years I’ve received some heartwarming donations – unfortunately the amount never came close to consider the project financially beneficial. I removed the donation links and put it on hold for now.
WP-FFPC is a cache plugin for <a href="https://wordpress.org/" title="WordPress" rel="ugc">WordPress</a>. 
It works with any webserver, including, but not limited to, apache2, lighttpd, nginx.
It can be configured together with <a href="http://NGiNX.org" title="NGiNX" rel="nofollow ugc">NGiNX</a> but use <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_memcached_module.html" title="memcached plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">memcached plugin</a> directly from the webserver, bypassing PHP.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
This plugin does not kick in right after activation. You have to adjust the setting in Settings -> WP-FFPC and save the settings.*
<ul>
<li>WordPress >= 3.0</li>
<li>at least one of the following for storage backend:
<ul>
<li>memcached with <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.memcached.php" title="Memcached" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP Memcached</a> > 0.1.0</li>
<li>memcached with <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.memcache.php" title="Memcache" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP Memcache</a> > 2.1.0</li>
<li><a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.apc.php" title="APC" rel="nofollow ugc">APC</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/APCu" title="APC User Cache" rel="nofollow ugc">APCu</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>PHP 5.3+ is really highly recommended, see “Known issues”</li>
</ul>
<h4>Known issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>errors will not be displayed on the admin section if PHP < 5.3, only in the logs. This is due to the limitations of displaying the errors ( admin_notices is a hook, not a filter ) and due to the lack of proper anonymus functions in older PHP.</li>
<li>If you’re using PHP 5.4+ avoid the APC backend: the plugin with that setup can even make your site slower. Please use APCu or memcached in this case.</li>
</ul>
