I'm not much of a WP guy, mostly Drupal ;), but I think that this WP
plugin can be of assistance in your quest:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nginx-proxy-cache-purge/
You need to install the cache purge 3rd party module:
https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_cache_purge/
Note that this is a route that voids solutions like SuperCache. It's
more complex to setup, but ultimately much more flexible.
