What the WPResidence theme cache does

WPResidence includes its own theme cache system for frequently used theme elements, shortcodes, and widgets.

This cache is separate from regular WordPress cache plugins. You can still use other cache plugins for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, browser cache, server cache, and general site optimization.

The WPResidence theme cache does not replace those cache plugins and does not interfere with them. It was created specifically for theme-generated content that can require many database requests.

What is stored in the theme cache

The theme cache stores several important theme elements. The main focus is the property unit used in property lists.

This includes property units used in:

  • Property list pages
  • Taxonomy pages
  • Property category pages
  • Property shortcodes
  • Theme widgets that display property units

Property lists load many details for each property, so the cache helps reduce the number of requests sent to the database and improves page loading speed.

How often the theme cache renews

The WPResidence theme cache renews automatically every 4 hours.

This means the theme will rebuild the cached output periodically, without requiring any manual action from the admin.

How to clear the WPResidence theme cache

You can manually clear the theme cache at any time from the admin dashboard top bar.

Click the Clear WPResidence Cache button to force the theme to rebuild the cached theme output.

What clearing the cache does not do

Important: Clearing the WPResidence cache does not change, translate, or overwrite text, labels, Theme Options, footer content, templates, or any saved content. It only forces the theme to rebuild the cached theme output.
Note: If wrong text appears after clearing the theme cache, this means the wrong text was already saved somewhere on the site or loaded from another setting, template, translation, plugin, or cached source. The cache clear action only makes the currently saved output visible again.

How to disable the theme cache

To disable the theme cache, go to Theme Options → Advanced → Site Speed.

Set Disable Theme Cache to Yes, then save the changes.

If you want to keep the WPResidence theme cache active, leave Disable Theme Cache set to No.

Tip: We strongly recommend using the WPResidence theme cache and not turning it off unless you are testing or troubleshooting.

This cache is specific to WPResidence theme features and cannot be fully replaced by a general cache plugin. It was created to improve performance for property lists and other theme elements that use many database requests.

For the best performance, keep the WPResidence theme cache enabled and also use a general cache or optimization plugin for the rest of the website.
