Title: Weird Caching Issue Last modified: March 9, 2026 --- # Weird Caching Issue * [biglifesolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biglifesolutions/) * (@biglifesolutions) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weird-caching-issue-4/) * Hi * Great plugin, love it and use it to check materials and notes that I allocate to coaching clients are being allocated to the right clients so I don’t breach confidentiality. I’m encountering a strange issue that has only just started happening. * When I view as a user it displays correctly with their name. But when I go back to Admin, instead of showing my name it has started showing the name if the user I was previously viewing hat page as. Alarmingly, this is also happening for any user who tried to login to their dashboard – it says “Welcome to your dashboard[ Name of User I just Viewed a Page as]. If I totally clear the cache it rectified, but then immediately does it again when I view as another user. * I can cope with needing to clear the cache but it is obviously not a good look if my clients log in and are greeted with someone else’s name. * Any ideas what may be going on?

Unfortunately, I do not have custom compatibility for every cache plugin out there, as this quickly becomes unmaintainable, so I think a custom solution would be best here. * There is a hook available that will run when a view is active: “vaa_view_admin_as_do_view”. Depending on your cache plugin you could disable cache when this action runs. * (Edit) Alternatively, you could just disable cache for logged-in users. * If you give me more info on your installation then I could help you further 🙂 * Cheers, Jory - This reply was modified 1 month, 1 week ago by [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/). * Thread Starter [biglifesolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biglifesolutions/) * (@biglifesolutions) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weird-caching-issue-4/#post-18847039) * Amazing, thanks Jory. You gave me an idea and I am simply excluding the specific URLs that seem to be affected, and that appears to be working. * I’d be interested in a more global solution – I use Lightspeed cache and couldn’t see any way to get it to disable caching when the hook ran. As I am not that technical I may be missing something obvious, but if you know off the top of your head hat I need to do that would be brilliant. * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weird-caching-issue-4/#post-18850744) * Hi [@biglifesolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biglifesolutions/) * Perfect, good to hear! And luckily Litespeed already includes several actions to clear cache easily. I believe the following code should work: * ```wp-block-code
