Examples
Clearing Post Cache
If you have a post with an ID of 123, you can clear it from the cache like this:
$post_id = 123; // Post ID clear_global_post_cache($post_id);
This code will clear the cache of the post with the ID of 123.
Clearing Post Cache after an Update
After updating a post, you might want to clear the cache for that post:
$post_id = 456; // Post ID after update clear_global_post_cache($post_id);
This will clear the cache of the post with the ID of 456 after it has been updated.
Clearing Post Cache in a Loop
If you have a list of post IDs, you can loop through them to clear each one from the cache:
$post_ids = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // Array of post IDs
foreach ($post_ids as $post_id) {
clear_global_post_cache($post_id);
}
This code will clear the cache for each post ID in the array.
Clearing Post Cache after Deletion
After deleting a post, you might want to clear the cache for that post:
$post_id = 789; // Post ID after deletion clear_global_post_cache($post_id);
This will clear the cache of the post with the ID of 789 after it has been deleted.
Clearing Post Cache after Adding a New Post
When you add a new post, you might want to clear the cache for that post:
$post_id = 101112; // Post ID after adding a new post clear_global_post_cache($post_id);
This code will clear the cache for the newly added post with the ID of 101112.
