FAQ
-
How does the plugin clear the Elementor cache?
-
The plugin uses Elementor’s built-in cache-clearing functions to regenerate CSS files in /wp-content/uploads/elementor/css/. It runs automatically based on your chosen schedule.
-
Can I receive notifications when the cache is cleared?
-
Yes, enable the “Send Email Notification” option to receive notifications at the admin email after each cache clear.
-
What happens if Elementor is not installed?
-
The plugin checks for Elementor and only runs cache-clearing functions if Elementor is active, ensuring compatibility with non-Elementor sites.
-
The scheduled clear never seems to run.
-
The plugin uses WP-Cron. On a low traffic site WP-Cron only fires when someone visits the site, so a scheduled clear can run late. If your host has disabled WP-Cron, set up a real system cron that calls wp-cron.php.
-
Does uninstalling remove my settings?
-
Yes. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes every option it created and clears its scheduled event.

Ændringslog
1.0.2
- Fixed a fatal error that could take a site down during the cache clear. The CSS regeneration fallback only checked for a method, which also reports missing when the whole Elementor class is gone and the resulting Error was not caught. Now guarded with a class check and Throwable handling.
- Fixed the LiteSpeed Cache hook being removed and never restored, which made the plugin’s own LiteSpeed purge fall back into an empty hook and silently do nothing.
- Fixed the activation and deactivation hooks, which were registered against a path WordPress never resolves and so never fired. Deactivating the plugin now correctly removes its scheduled event.
- CSS regeneration now runs in batches with a configurable ceiling instead of loading every Elementor page at once, which could exhaust memory on large sites.
- Removed error suppression around third party cache purges so real failures are visible and wrapped them so a broken cache plugin cannot break the clear.
- Escaped the cache plugin detection output on the settings page.
- Last Cache Clear and Next Scheduled Clear now display in your site’s date, time and timezone settings.
- Added an uninstall routine that removes all plugin options and the scheduled event.
- Added a link to the Pro version at the foot of the settings page.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
