WP Super-Cache Not Deleting Expired Pages

I recently tweaked our blog template and was surprised to see a large number of pages were still displaying the old template! Obviously these pages were being displayed by WP Super-cache, but I had already deleted the wordpress cache, so how was it possible?

I was using the latest version of WP-super-cache 0.8.4 (like most wordpress users), a superb must-have plugin that provides a very fast caching module for WordPress, which means your site can easily survive a Digg on a shared server. When I checked the Supercache admin panel, it showed the counter stuck at 1183 expired files in supercache, and it would not change whatever you do.

WP-Supercache Not Deleting Expired Pages

After repeated attempts I simply could not delete the Super cache expired files - I tried turning the plugin on and off, tried to turn it half on (WP-cache only, Supercache disabled), supercache compression on and off, delete cache button, delete expired button… but nothing helped.

The first time I had installed WP-supercache a few months back, it was not caching pages, but I fixed the issue. This time however the problem refused to get fixed. I simply could not let 1183 frequently visited pages on the site show outdated pages with an older template.

Switch to Older Version of WP-Supercache

I realized the problem had occurred since I installed the latest version of WP-supercache recently by plugin autoupgrade. The changelog revealed some change was recently made to garbage collection timing. Someone suggested I try the WP Super Cache Cleaner WordPress plugin that will periodically delete expired super-cache files regardless of whether your blog has reached the “X requests” threshold. However, only expired “super-cached” files will be deleted and WP-Cache files won’t be affected.

Since it would take time before more users reported the issue, a bug was identified, and a new version released, I decided to switch back to the previous version. But where could I find the previous version of WP-supercache?

Fortunately wordpress plugin headquarters archive all older plugin versions. I found the older version of WP-Super-cache (0.8.3) there and downloaded it. Then after backing up my current WP-supercache folder from the server, I uploaded the older version. Then I reactivated the plugin, pressed delete cache and… Expired pages = 0

UPDATE: Its seems WP-super-cache stopped working again after switching back after some time. Till then manually deleting the cache seems to be the reasonable option to keep the site going. Is your WP-supercache not deleting expired pages? How have you fixed it?
