Clear NGINX page cache when WooCommerce product inventory levels are changed (only tested on GridPane with Redis page caching enabled)

	if(class_exists('PhpRedis_Purger') || class_exists('Predis_Purger')){

Thanks for this! Looks like an error is thrown if the nginx-helper plugin is deactivated. I'll add a check for that on Monday.

FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function purge_all() on null

Ya this hasn't been tested rigorously, but that was actually something I originally had in there and accidentally deleted when troubleshooting. There are a few ways to check for presence of the active plugin. I prefer to look at classes and have added that back in, but you can also check this with is_plugin_active()

I have tried this on my server with the GridPane framework and it does not work (I have tried both and neither work).
