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 to your child theme to achieve the same functionality.
