Fix for WP SUPER CACHE home not refreshing

WP SUPER CACHE is one of the most used WordPress plugin for cache, but probably there is a small bug in WP Super Cache homepage refresh configuration. This can explain why so many times I received alerts from clients that can’t find their posts in homepage! So I’ve found/modified/made this few lines of code to force refresh of the homepage. You can simply made a cronjob that calls a php file that remove index.* files from super cache directory, or you can write a wordpress action called with wp cron and delete hourly the same files.

Be sure that the directory of your cache is /wp-content/cache/supercache/www.yourdomain.com:

add_action('init','delete_home_cache_hourly');
add_action('delete_home_cache_hourly_job','delete_home_cache_hourly_function');
function delete_home_cache_hourly_function(){
	$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/wp-content/cache/supercache/".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/";
	$file = "index.html";
	unlink($dir.$file);
	unlink($dir.$file.".gz");
}
function delete_home_cache_hourly(){
	if(!wp_next_scheduled('delete_home_cache_hourly_job'))
		wp_schedule_event (time(), 'hourly', 'delete_home_cache_hourly_job');
}
