# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] apc cache doesn't update on wp-admin

 * It seems that the object or database cache for site options (in a network) using
   APC doesn’t update until the object expires. As in I press save. The option is
   saved correctly in the DB, but displayed incorrectly to the user until they flush
   the cache.
 * Any ideas on what could cause this? I’m tempted to do this:
 * if (is_admin() && !defined(‘DOING_AJAX’)){
    define(‘DONOTCACHEOBJECT’, true);
   define(‘DONOTCACHEDB’, true); }
 * but I suspect that’s not really the right way to fix the problem :P.

    This is with WP in network mode. Happens on main site and subsites.

 * Thanks!
    I’ve not been able to find a donate button on the plugin page. Do you
   accept donations? if so, what is the best way to get it to you?
