Hello. I have a question. When I edit something in the database (in one of the wpforo tables), the changes are not shown in the forum immediately. In particular, the users that were connected before the editing, continue to see the same things. Only the users that will connect after the editing see the changes. It, obviously, happens only when I editing something directly from the database. If I edit a topic in the forum, it work perfectly. Probably, I will not edit again from the database in the future, but I would like to understand why this thing happens. Thank you.
Hi Nintendomi,
You need to delete all caches (from Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page) and clear browser caches after such changes.
If you use other cache plugins delete these plugins' caches as well.
Ah, now I understand. So there are internal caches, I didn't know. Thank you very much!
On the other hand, editing directly the db (for anything) is an open invitation for trouble.
Eheh, you are right. If you touch the db you have to do it with a lot of caution ^^

I do not touch db with a 10 foot pole.
