Disable WP_CACHE before upgrading to newest BP

Just a word of warning for those using WP’s object cache (WP_CACHE) as listed here:

http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

Comment the line out of your wp-config.php before upgrading!

WP_CACHE was caching my MU plugins page and wouldn’t show the upgraded BP so I could activate it.

You can re-enable it after you have upgraded.

Thanks for the tip ray,

Do any special steps have to be taken with WP-Cache to use it with Buddypress so that we can make sure it dosent conflict with any component? Any known issues with the common buddypress plugins?

Hey Kunal,

I didn’t run into any problems until upgrading BP from the WPMU admin area.

Everything else was running fine.

Although the only main BP plugin I’m using at the moment is Burt Adsit’s bpGroups plugin.

Update:

Make sure when you disable WP_CACHE that you do two other things:

-delete the “cache” folder in /wp-content/ as well

-rename object-cache.php to object-cache.php.bak or something like that

I forgot to do these two things after the upgrade and just noticed that it was wreaking havoc on my BP group forums and bbPress. They wouldn’t sync up!

All seems to be well with the cosmos now! Although I havent’ re-enabled WP_CACHE yet.
