W3 Total Cache plugin integration

Question

I am working on a plugin (widget) that is using some transients that are updated from time to time.

That said, when these transients are updated, I think I will need to flush the cache to display the new data properly.

Thus, I wonder if have some way to flush the cache only for widget instead of entire cache. Do you guys have some advice?

Answer 1

if you want to flush the specific cache you can do that: the plugin has functions for that

<?php
flush_pgcache();  // Page cache
flush_dbcache();  // Database cache
flush_minify();  // Minify cache
flush_all(); // All caches
?>

and you just need to call it like this:

<?php 
$w3_plugin_totalcache->flush_all();
?>
