 * Thanks! We’d love [a review](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/zencache),
   if you haven’t already left one. 🙂
 * > Question: Is it advisable to clear the cache after updating a plugin?
 * That depends on the type of plugin you’re installing: If the plugin is an admin-
   only plugin (e.g., it only adds some feature to the WordPress Dashboard and does
   not affect anything on the front-end of the website), then no, there’s no good
   reason to clear the cache.
 * However, if the plugin _does_ affect the front-end of the website in some way,
   then yes, you should clear the cache.
 * ZenCache automatically takes care of clearing the cache when necessary, in most
   scenarios. For example, if you change some settings on a plugin, ZenCache will
   detect that you’re saving changes and usually clear the cache for you to make
   sure that your site content stays current. ZenCache is quite intelligent in that
   manner, but we can’t cover _every_ scenario, so we’re constantly working to improve
   that intelligence.

 * Thank you again! I’m off to give this plugins 5 stars!
