Is there a button to clear cache/thumbnails?

General Forums General Questions

From my understanding with the new ‘Live’ search, I need to clear the cache anytime a new product is added. Also, if product images are changed for variants, I need to clear the thumbnails to force them to be regenerated. Is there a button to do this? It is too confusing for my user to remember to use ?cc and ?ct and they are very frustrated. Also, what other secret ?xx commands do I not know about? Currently on 2.1.2. Thanks, Mark

You can easily create your own button with the floating “Quick Menu” on the right side of the admin area.


  1. Click the “Edit” link.
  2. Click the “Add Section” link and name your new section.
  3. Click the “Add Link” link and enter the name “Clear Cache” for your link and add the url [url]http://www.yourstorename.com/admin.php?cc[/url] .
  4. Now all you need to do to clear your cache is click this new “Clear Cache” link and voila!
