🛠 What is this?

This plugin allows you to clear Beaver Builder cache directly from the WordPress admin bar.

🚀 New in this version (1.2.0):

• Updated for modern WordPress versions (now supports PHP 7.4+)
• Better Admin Bar Integration (user roles and seperate menu bar item)
• Fixed nonce verification issues for security.
• Improved sanitization & escaping to follow WordPress coding standards.
• Restricted access to Editors and Admins only (edit_pages capability required).

⚡️ Why Use This Plugin?

Beaver Builder caches assets to improve performance, but sometimes, changes don’t appear instantly. This plugin adds a "Clear Cache" button to the WordPress admin bar, so you can:

• Clear cache for the current page
• Clear cache for the entire website
• Avoid clearing Beaver Builder cache manually via FTP

🔄 Credits & Attribution

This plugin is based on the original BB Delete Cache plugin by Thierry Pigot and wearewp, which looks like was abandoned in 2019.

UPDATED: A compatibility update was made and the original plugin is now functioning.

Weave has updated and now actively maintains this plugin to support modern WordPress and PHP versions while we continue ot use BB..

v1.2.0 - 2025-02-21

🚀 Improvements:

• Better Admin Bar Integration:
  • If the user has Beaver Builder frontend editing access, the cache clearing options now appear inside the Beaver Builder admin bar menu.
  • If the user does not have Beaver Builder access, a new top-level admin bar menu is created, ensuring Editors and Admins can still clear the cache.

🔒 Security & Permissions:

• Ensured only Editors and Admins (edit_pages capability) can clear the cache, preventing unauthorized users from accessing cache options.

🛠 Code Enhancements:

• Improved compatibility with Beaver Builder’s user access settings (FLBuilderUserAccess).
• Optimized admin bar rendering to prevent unnecessary loading.
