Set Custom Cache Path in NGINX Helper Plugin

by

Are you using FastCGI cache? Great!

Is NGINX Helper not purging your cache? No worries, here’s the solution.

  • To set custom cache path in NGINX Helper plugin, add a new constant in wp-config.php file

<?php
// Set Custom Cache path
define('RT_WP_NGINX_HELPER_CACHE_PATH', '/var/www/cache/');
/**
 * The base configuration for WordPress
 *
 * The wp-config.php creation script uses this file during the
 * installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can
 * copy this file to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.
 *
 * This file contains the following configurations:
 *
 * * MySQL settings
 * * Secret keys
 * * Database table prefix
 * * ABSPATH
 *
 * @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'example' );
...

Earlier, I was using NGINX cache plugin that had UI for setting up custom cache path but that was not working properly for Hindi language encoded URL.

Therefore, I switched to NGINX Helper to accomplish the task.
