  2. Run this command and make a note of the desired WordPress instance ID

    # plesk ext wp-toolkit --list

  3. Replace <ID> in this command and run it to clear its cache

    # plesk ext wp-toolkit --clear-cache -instance-id <ID>

Windows

  1. Connect to the server via RDP

  2. Start a Command Prompt or PowerShell

  3. Run this command and make a note of the desired WordPress instance ID

    I’ve tried that but it is still not working. In SSH it says the wo-toolkit cache is cleared but the relevant ID is still in the list.
