Another plugin must be modifying the admin bar. The clear cache button appears by default.
Hi. I’ve a totally fresh WP installation, but on a User with Editor-Role the Admin-Bar Button is not there, only as an admin… but I need it also for Editors.
which plugins did you install?
I’ve only installed WP Fastest Cache.

are you using a multisite installation?

No it’s a standard WP Installation. No Multisite or something.
I can confirm, since one of the last updates, one of my customers with the ‘Editor’ role cannot see the options to clear the cache anymore. I’ve just been told. The role hadn’t been edited, i.e. standard rules, but stopped working for her.
@emrevona I would love to, but even for me as an Administrator, there is no such setting for the toolbar on version 1.3.3. I checked on multiple sites that the plugin is installed at, with no modifications to user roles at all. Is it possible you removed it by accident?
Apart from that, it’s not too convenient that previously, the cache could be deleted by other roles than Administrator by default, but you changed the settings, so it needs to be enabled actively. I’d suspect this was just the first of my customers wondering and complaining about the missing function. Would you consider changing this behaviour back to the previous default?
i have seen this problem before. Another plugin modifies the toolbar.
Well, I don’t know. Yes, there are other plugins adding entries to the toolbar, but I wouldn’t know why a sub-setting of your toolbar entry would be removed by that. The other plugin(s) would have to manually remove the third list element from the HTML of your plugin’s toolbar entry.
Also, I did check for you: I disabled all other plugins on a site of mine, and the Toolbar sub-setting of WP Fastest Cache doesn’t re-appear. So it’s not another plugin, and given that I checked the sub-menu on three very different sites with different plugins and settings, I would assume it’s something in your plugin missing.

Even though what you say seems logical, 1 million people have to experience this problem. Which hosting provider are you using?
@physalis My problem was: These settings are only visible when you are on the plugin page with the settings. They are not visible “everywhere.” So you first have to click on “WP Fastest Cache”.
I have a VPS on which two of the WP instances I checked are on, plus my customer is on all-inkl.com. Both are very ‘open’ (I know especially my VPS, as I installed it myself) and do not restrict WordPress functionality. I’ve been working with both without a hitch for ages. I’m a developer, not an end-user, so I know my way around WordPress quite well 🙂 .
Also just checked by installing it onto a testing environment, with nothing modified whatsoever, using a standard theme, plus on a local dev environment on my computer: still not showing Toolbar settings. I wouldn’t know how it could possibly be a special case that appears even on fresh WordPress installs locally, on my VPS or on other hosting, with no plugins enabled and no custom theme active.
