Force Refresh

Beskrywing

Features

  • Support for both parent and child themes.

  • Ability to add refreshing capabilities to any role using the “Invoke Force Refresh” capability.
  • Ability to refresh on a per-page or post basis.
  • Customizable client-side refresh intervals, including the ability to customize any refresh interval between 30 seconds and four hours.

  • You can choose from popular refresh intervals or specify a custom one. After clicking, “Refresh site”, you’ll receive confirmation that you’ve requested connected browsers to refresh.
  • To refresh a single page or post, locate the “Force Refresh” section under any page.
  • Want to see the latest features? Clicking “View Release Notes” will display the most recent features and fixes for Force Refresh.
  • If you’re having trouble, clicking on “Troubleshooting” will allow you to view the current settings for Force Refresh and allow you to enter Debugging Mode — an enhanced browser console logging mode that can be used to diagnose issues.

Installation

Nice Plugin, thank you! It would be great to have a few more visibility settings in the Tools > Force Refresh section. For example, show/hide for Posts, Pages, CPTs. I have hidden it on Posts from the Screen Options, but need to do this for all Users. Reason being, the Posts for this particular website are shown in a Carousel, and not the individual Posts page, so clicking the force refresh button does not work in that instance, but may make my client think they have refreshed it.
