Title: Problem deleting cache files automatically Last modified: May 5, 2018 --- # Problem deleting cache files automatically * [auxiclic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auxiclic/) * (@auxiclic) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/) * Hello, * WP Fastest Cache is working and I can delete the cache manually but it is not working automatically. * I added a timeout rule which would have to delete the cache each hour but nothing happens. * With WP Control I got this : wp_fastest_cache_0 * [ “{\”prefix\”:\”all\”,\”content\”:\”all\”}” ] * WpFastestCache->setSchedule() * 2018-05-03 17:47:33 (now) * Une fois par heure * Regards, * Olivier Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10250554) * can you be sure that “scheduled post” works properly please? * [primal.scream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) * (@primalscream) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10276798) * I am having the same problem on both my sites. I have to clear the cache manually. For some reason my site distorts if I don’t clear the cache manually – the site is fine but the header is squashed – the menu and pages come up over the header. WordPress support and my host support does not have an answer. I thought about upgrading to premium but don’t know if that will solve the problem. Thanks, Pete. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10278956) * [@primalscream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) , can you be sure that “scheduled post” works properly please? * [primal.scream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) * (@primalscream) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10280703) * Hi. Nothing had changed when I started having this problem. However ‘scheduled posts’ is not a feature that I use, so I can’t say where this feature is. This is not a feature of WPFastest Cache? Nor Jetpack. Nor any plugin that I have. Thanks and regards, Pete. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10282302) * [https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/) * [primal.scream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) * (@primalscream) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10284628) * Okay – thanks for your patience, and for sending the link. * I don’t have the schedule facility at all – I am completely up to date with WP 4.9.5 and the theme (Mantra) and all plugins are up to date. * Why would scheduler not be present when it obviously should be? * Thanks again. * And great plugin by the way. It has been working well until this glitch which doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the plugin itself actually. * [primal.scream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) * (@primalscream) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10284667) * Okay. Sorted the scheduler. It works differently to the video / explanation on the link. And I had to turn the relevent plugins back on. The schedule a post feature is on. Is that the problem? With scheduler on my site is not functioning properly.

If WP_CRON does not work properly, the cache timeout feature does not work either. * [primal.scream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/primalscream/) * (@primalscream) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10293997) * Thanks for your replies. * It would appear that as the scheduler is working we can assume that WP_CRON is also working. Is that correct? * However the cache is still not clearing. * I have been over settings a thousand times – I can’t see where I have made a mistake. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10300387) * Please contact me via email: [http://www.wpfastestcache.com/contact-us/](http://www.wpfastestcache.com/contact-us/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Problem deleting cache files automatically’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-fastest-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2064586) * [WP Fastest Cache - WordPress Cache Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/reviews/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * Last activity: [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-deleting-cache-files-automatically/#post-10300387) * Status: not resolved
