# Automatically flush comments cache

 * I’m using the REST API for displaying user comments. When I approve or unapprove
   comments the API cache doesn’t automatically get flushed so any new or removed
   comments for a post aren’t updated.
 * I know you can manually flush the REST cache to workaround this but it would 
   be nice if this could get automated like when you edit a post.

 * Hello [@imranp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imranp/)
 * Thank you for your feedback! And yes, the cache should automatically be flushed
   when approving/unapproving comments. This turned out to be a small bug, which
   we immediately fixed. A new version of the plugin has just been released, which
   should fix the issue.
