# Cache update requirements

 * I just spent three days figuring out a problem related to Woocommerce where many
   of my products were broken with caching turned on.
    They (Woocommerce) figured
   out that the cache needed to be “cleared” due to some change that had occurred.
 * **Not having knowingly made any changes** it occurred to me that **IF** any change
   to WP Super Cache settings are made that might require such a “clearing” the 
   user should be notified. Or the clearing should occur automatically as part of
   that change in settings.
 * For someone who is a web designer/programmer this behavior and knowledge of what
   might drive the “clearing” requirement or how these setting changes might have
   occurred is probably more obvious.
 * But, I am just a user of this plugin that has no knowledge at all how these things
   actually work, so this seems like a design oversight to an ignorant user such
   as myself.
    Tank you, Mark
