 * Hello,
 * I’ve finally got around to testing this properly. Adding /my_custom_post_type/*
   into the Purge Policy>Additional pages field does not cause all posts of that
   CPT to be purged when one is updated. Is that the expected behavior?

 * Hi – Sorry – I’ve been out of the office.
 * Thanks for the update. So I’m trying to understand the logic of this. If I include/
   events/* in the “Additional pages” field, with no other settings checked, does
   that mean that any update to any page or any other CPT post will cause a purge
   of all posts under /events/ ? Or would the purge only happen when an event post
   is updated?

 * Hi,
 * Yes. So for a given CPT, e.g. /events/, the goal would be to only purge the cache
   of the post being edited, e.g. /events/my-event-post/. I have several CPTs active
   on the site with many posts for each, so manually adding the post URLs to the
   Purge Policy would not be feasible. But is there a way to use a wildcard?
 * The majority of our post updates are about the content of the post, not the key
   details like title, dates or featured image. So purging an archive sometimes 
   makes sense as well, but it usually isn’t necessary. Purging the whole site cache
   seems excessive for a single small update.

 * Hi Marko,
 * “…you should also call the cron for specific job separately” – what do you mean
   exactly? Set up a separate cronjob for w3_pgcache_prime?
 * The essence of my problem is that the cache priming doesn’t happen if the cache
   lifetime of the page hasn’t expired yet. I understand this is fine for most sites,
   but when you have content changing at specific times and you want to refresh 
   the cache in line with those times, it can’t be done reliably, from what I can
   see.
 * I’m wondering whether purging the cache in advance each time could be a way around
   this. I found another support thread related to this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-cache-at-certain-times-of-days/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-cache-at-certain-times-of-days/)
   Obviously this would mean flushing ALL pages, which wouldn’t be ideal but maybe
   an option to test.

 * Hi Marko,
 * Thanks for that information. My setup has just 2 URLs in the prime sitemap currently(
   it’s a staging site). I’m only interested in priming the cache for a particular
   set of URLs, as most of the site is fairly static content-wise. My Cron job calls
   wp-cron every minute, and the 2 URLs are generated in about 4 or 5 seconds.
 * I understand that this is in effect imitating users visiting pages and generating
   cached versions. But what I want to achieve is that the cache priming happens,
   without fail, every 15 minutes, irrespective of cache page lifetime or when a
   user last visited a one of the sitemap pages. Is this possible with W3TC?

 * Hi Marko,
 * Thanks for the quick response. I will try to explain my query with an example:
 * If I have the cache object lifetime set at e.g. 3600s and the prime update interval
   set at e.g. 900s, the pages in the prime sitemap won’t be regenerated until they
   expire (after 3600s). What I’m asking is whether there’s a way to override this
   rule, such that primed pages are always regenerated at the update interval.
 * Obviously you could set the update interval and the cache lifetime to “match”,
   but due to the finite time it takes to prime a series of pages, and the fact 
   that the pages won’t be regenerated unless they have completely expired, there’s
   too much room for user requests to potentially affect the update timing.
 * The reason I’m asking this is because we have content that is displayed differently
   depending on the time of day. This content is (typically) already published, 
   and can change on the hour or half-hour. So the purge policy for published posts
   won’t work in this case.
 * I hope you now understand my query!

 * Hello,
 * Would it be possible to provide a %notes% replacement code? I’m looking for a
   way to provide a message that’s already conditional on %if_special_today%, and
   could be a string or null. So something like:
 * %if_open_today%My message here %if_special_today%%notes%%end%, the rest of the
   message.%end%
 * Thanks for building this plugin, by the way. Very useful and works well.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for that update. I have just updated to 4.6.4 and now the group accordions
   are working correctly on the front end (contrary to my post above, they weren’t
   working after the 4.6.3 update, though the separate accordions were OK). There
   are still a couple of issues:
    - Selecting multiple separate accordion blocks in the editor list view causes
      an unresponsive page.
    - Existing group accordions are displaying a block error in the editor – “This
      block contains unexpected or invalid content.”. This is resolved if you “attempt
      block recovery” but I thought I’d just report it.
 * I’m using WordPress 6.5.2
