# [bps_directory] doesn’t work with object caching enabled

 * I have found that shortcode [bps_directory] doesn’t work when running Redis Object
   Cache.
    The Buddyboss member directory page works fine along with a BP Profile
   Search form though. But when I try to make a custom page displaying members with[
   bps_directory] it does not work. Unless I disable object caching.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbps_directory-doesnt-work-with-object-caching-enabled%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi hemligg,
 * Yes, additional member directories made with [bps_directory] may not work well
   with persistent cache plugins.
 * In this case, try setting the BuddyPress ‘bp_pages’ cache group as non-persistent.
 * Does this work for you?

 * I added this to wp-config.php
 * define( ‘WP_REDIS_IGNORED_GROUPS’, [
    ‘counts’, ‘plugins’, ‘themes’, ‘bp_pages’]);
 * But that didn’t help.

 * Hi hemligg,
 * I’m not very familiar with _Redis Object Cache_, but your code looks fine to 
   me.
 * It’s confirmed, in a different context, in this page:
 * [https://wpml.org/errata/problems-with-buddypress-multilingual-and-redis-object-cache/](https://wpml.org/errata/problems-with-buddypress-multilingual-and-redis-object-cache/)
 * And sometimes it’s reported not to take effect immediately, see:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_redis_ignored_groups-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_redis_ignored_groups-2/)
 * Which _Ignored Groups_ are reported in your _Diagnostics_ tab?

 * Thanks for your support. And sorry for taking your time. I just realized it didn’t
   take effect because I added the definition within a commented section. 😀 …Embarrassing
   really. 😐 …But problem solved and it works just like you said! Thanks again!
