Description

The Content Revalidation Tracker plugin seamlessly connects your WordPress site with your frontend framework (such as Next.js, Nuxt, or Gatsby) to trigger revalidation via a secure API endpoint every time content changes — ensuring your site always serves the most up-to-date pages.

This plugin is ideal for headless WordPress setups that use static site generation or incremental static regeneration. Whenever you update, publish, or delete posts, pages, or taxonomies, the plugin automatically sends a secure API call to your frontend to revalidate the affected pages.

Key Features

  • Automatic Revalidation – Triggers a revalidation request whenever a post, user, or taxonomy is created, updated, trashed, or deleted.
  • Custom Prefix Mapping (New in v2) – Define custom URL prefixes for your post types and taxonomies to match your frontend routing structure.
  • Granular Configuration – Choose which post types and taxonomies are revalidated via filters.
  • Secure API Communication – Use a secret key and domain configuration to ensure authorized revalidation requests.
  • Admin Test Tool (New in v2) – Test revalidation manually from the settings page to confirm configuration.
  • Developer Friendly – Includes hooks and filters for advanced customization.

Ideal For

  • WordPress sites powered by Next.js, Nuxt, or other static/hybrid frameworks.
  • Developers who want automated page revalidation after content changes.
  • Headless WordPress sites that require fast and fresh content delivery.

A: It’s designed for frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt.js, and Gatsby — any platform that supports revalidation through a secure API route.

Q: Do I need to add a special endpoint on my frontend?

A: Yes. You’ll need to create an endpoint (e.g., /api/revalidate) on your frontend that listens for POST requests containing the secret and path values.

Q: Can I manually trigger revalidation?

A: Yes, use the “Test Revalidation” button in the plugin settings to manually send a request.

Q: Does this plugin work with custom post types or taxonomies?

A: Absolutely. You can enable or map them from the plugin settings or through filters.
