And there is NO solution to that. Either you live with those restrictions, or you exclude wpforo page from your caching plugin.

IMHO wpForo must find some ways to better work with popular FREE cache plugins, like Automattic's WP Super Cache. And to be fair, wpFpro latest versions are much friendlier to caching plugins (apparently wpForo use some WP hooks), still not 100%.

I like the idea of the cache, but when someone posts it shows zero views of the post for a long time, making the site look inactive.

Seems 'Replies' and 'Views' counter should be excluded from the cache.

In case it does, you should remove it. Only image attachments affect page speed, but these images are cached in your local browser and PC, they are not being loaded each time you open the page (only first time), so I don't think the caching is extremely important here. Browsers are already solve this issue. I think the same is with emoticons. Others are cached by wpForo and works well.

I can exclude this page, but what regarding all attachments, images, emoticons, gravatars etc etc? WP Rocket is incredibly good with improving site speed and don't wanna lose on this.

They are deleted automatically. I mean this is done in wpForo built-in cache. if you use other cache plugins you should exclude wpForo page, e.g.: /community/* from your cache plugin. All cache plugins have options to exclude certain page. wpForo has builtin cache system, it doesn't need other plugin caching.

Why is this? Do we have something configured incorrectly? 

If I get a notification that a new topic or post was created, I should be able to click the link and see the post. But, I can't get it to show unless I clear all caches.

Can someone help me understand why and how to avoid this? 

Thank you!!!!

Olivia
