Heads up to InMotion Hosting that my Force Refresh plugin (the same one you have linked in the support article at https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/force-wordpress-refreshes-with-force-refresh/) supports refreshing individual posts and pages.
sorry to say I am not finding this plugin. I want to refresh a single page so tell me exact solution through plugin or any code for my website
Hello and thanks for bringing this to our attention. We updated the article accordingly. We recommend you ask the WordPress community ways to do auto-refreshing.
Hi, I only want to force a refresh once after I update the page or post instead of every x seconds. Please advise. I have installed you force refresh for site, but most pages are not edited and donot require refresh. Thank you Peter
Hello Peter. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the plugin described in this guide. However, after clicking the Update button in the Page/Post Editor it should refresh the page once. Can you explain the behavior you expect after a refresh? This may assist us in matching you up with another plugin with the capabilities you are looking for.
