This plugin is ideal for **headless WordPress** setups that use static site generation or incremental static regeneration. Whenever you update, publish, or delete posts, pages, or taxonomies, the plugin automatically sends a secure API call to your frontend to revalidate the affected pages. ### Key Features * **Automatic Revalidation** – Triggers a revalidation request whenever a post, user, or taxonomy is created, updated, trashed, or deleted. * **Custom Prefix Mapping (New in v2)** – Define custom URL prefixes for your post types and taxonomies to match your frontend routing structure. * **Granular Configuration** – Choose which post types and taxonomies are revalidated via filters. * **Secure API Communication** – Use a secret key and domain configuration to ensure authorized revalidation requests. * **Admin Test Tool (New in v2)** – Test revalidation manually from the settings page to confirm configuration. * **Developer Friendly** – Includes hooks and filters for advanced customization. ### Ideal For * WordPress sites powered by **Next.js**, **Nuxt**, or other static/hybrid frameworks. * Developers who want **automated page revalidation** after content changes. * Headless WordPress sites that require fast and fresh content delivery. ### Support For support and troubleshooting, please visit [Dropndot Solutions](https://dropndot.com). ## Screenshots * [[ * **Settings Page** – Configure your frontend domain, secret key, and prefix mapping. * [[ * **Custom Prefix Mapping** – Define custom URL prefixes for your post types and taxonomies to match your frontend routing structure. * [[ * **Manual Test Tool & Activity Log** – Test your setup easily from the dashboard and view the latest revalidation events. ## Installation 1.
