Memcache - Elementor Pro #4179

Hi,

Post upgrading my hosting plan from shared hosting to 'dreampress', with the host 'DreamHost', I have been having issues for a few months now, wherein, post 'elementor pro' plugin updates (not elementor, but elementor pro), the site would look wonky as the cache was not getting cleared, to resolve this, I had to repeatedly raise tickets and seek help from the support team at Dreamhost to manually clear the cache.

This is how the site looks post updating the plugin

This is what they say about elementor pro.
1)
...The issues here are being caused by the elementor
plugin. It creates special CSS files and these files were missing from
the uploads elementor directory. You can regenerate these files at
https://www.dentalicious.com.au/wp-admin/admin.php?page=elementor-tools.
Make sure after doing this that you also purge the varnish cache by
clicking the "empty cache" link in the admin tool bar. Everything should
be loading normally now. The main problem is that this plugin does it's
own thing with separate CSS files....

However, issues were not resolved even by doing this, on digging deeper, they wrote this,

2)....
It was actually Memcached caching that was causing it to act wonky, not
Varnish. Unfortunately, there isn't a plugin that can be used to clear
Memcached. It needs to be done manually using the command line. If you
are familiar with the command line you can connect via SSH and run wp cache flush and that should take care of it.......

Just flagging issues faced by me and the issue here is that 'elementor pro' plugin updates are causing memcache caching issues and if anything that can be done from your side that would assist and make life simpler without having to go through the whole command line process cycle, then kindly have a look at it.

Thanks.
