 * I have noticed that clearing the cache for a single page using the ‘purge current
   page’ dropdown option doesn’t entirely clear the cache for that specific page.
   I have to purge all caches to see the desired effect. This is not ideal because
   I don’t always want to clear the entire cache. Any idea why this is not working?

 * Hello [@gs1623](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gs1623/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
   Can you please share an example
   of what has changed on the page? I’ve tested this, and once I change any text
   or update an image or any content on any page, upon updating the cache is automatically
   purged for that page.
 * Please share the specific on what is changed (content or some styling)
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you for your prompt response. I manage an online store where frequent updates
   occur, including changes to prices, descriptions, and stock levels. I’ve observed
   an issue where product labels or badges, such as the “out of stock” label, do
   not get removed. For instance, if a product goes out of stock and is labeled 
   accordingly as shown in this [screenshot](https://share.zight.com/12uQGDdl), 
   when the product comes back into stock, the “out of stock” label persists until
   I manually clear all caches.

 * Hello [@gs1623](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gs1623/)
 * Thank you for your feedback. 
   So when you purge the current page, you are only
   purging the page cache.
 * Do you have the Object Cache or DB cache enabled? If so, once the stock levels
   are changed, try to purge OC and DB cache and purge the specific page and let
   me know if this helps!
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you for your response, Marko.
 * I have checked both object and DB cache and they’re both disabled. DB settings
   = ”Database caching via Disk is currently **disabled**.”
 * Object Cache = ”Object caching via Disk is currently **disabled**.”

 * Sure, feel free to [inspect the site](https://gazebosale.co.uk/).
 * The current active settings are listed below:
 * Page cache = enabled 
 * Page cache method: Disk enhanced
 * Opcode: zend opcache
 * Browser cache = enabled
 * Reverse proxy caching via varnish = enabled
 * Miscellaneous: Verify rewrite rules

 * Hey [@gs1623](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gs1623/)
 * Thank you for your feedback.
 * So you are also using Opcode Cache and Reverse proxy caching via varnish. Since
   the Purge current page purges the page cache, please try to purge opcache and
   varnish separately and also purge the current cache.
 * Thanks!

 * [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) — Alright, I will keep
   that in mind going forward. You have been very helpful, so thank you for your
   assistance.
