 * Thanks for a great plugin. Is there some function I can run to clear the cache
   programmatically? For example after WordPress plugin/theme updates.

 * Hi [@khromov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khromov/),
 * You can use `\PoweredCache\Utils\powered_cache_flush()`
 * Eg:
    `add_action( 'upgrader_process_complete', '\PoweredCache\Utils\powered_cache_flush');`
   should purge the entire cache after update.

 * Is this added to functions.php or where?

 * Hi [@itsgotime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/itsgotime/),
 * Yes, you can add functions.php or add it as a code snippet or mu-plugins.
