Currently, there is no setting that does this automatically for you. W3 Total Cache shows a banner with a 'clear cache' button after an update, but you need to click it yourself. What a waste of precious mouse clicks. Also, the banner 'solution' is not practical if you use 3rd party software to update your plugins, such as Installatron or ManageWP.<\/p>\n\n<h4>When you need this plugin<\/h4>\n\n<p>You need this plugin if you are looking for a simple, no-code solution for preventing cache conflicts with W3 Total Cache after a plugin, theme, core, or translation update.<\/p>\n\n<h4>When you do not need this plugin<\/h4>\n\n<p>If you are familiar with child themes, then you can add <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/StachRedeker\/Automatic-Cache-Flusher-for-W3-Total-Cache\/\">some code<\/a> to your child theme to achieve the same functionality.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Privacy notices<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin does not:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>track users;<\/li>\n<li>write any user personal data to the database;<\/li>\n<li>send any data to external servers;<\/li>\n<li>use cookies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Support<\/h3>\n\n<p>Issues with 'Automatic Cache Flusher for W3 Total Cache' fall within the scope of the support, issues with W3 Total Cache do not.
