# Exclude cache group question

 * Hello,
    I would like to exclude the cache group „meta_user“ from being cached.
   I have inserted the following code to my wp-config.php file:
 * define( ‘WP_REDIS_IGNORED_GROUPS’, [‘user_meta’] );
 * After that I manually flushed the cache to see if it affects the cache group.
   However the meta_user data was flushed.
 * What does that mean?
 * Is my code snippet wrong?
    Or does a manual flush ignore the exclusion?

 * Hello!
 * Adding `user_meta` to the list of ignored groups, does not make it permanent,
   quite the opposite, it causes the keys of that group to never be stored in Redis.
