Does Redis actually work with BuddyPress?

    Hi there, I use Redis Object Cache with my Buddypress member site, which is all dynamic content.

    I’m not an expert within caching, but I managed to install and connect to the server, and all lights are green.

    But I’m in doubt if BuddyPress can benefit from Redis?. The reason why I’m not sure that the dynamic content is cached, is that the members directory calls the server, every time you visit a member profile, and return to the directory.

    The directory is reloaded, and the directory displays all members from the top of the directory again which of course causes a massive server load, so it seems like the content is not cached.

    Does Redis actually work with BuddyPress?

    As said, I’m a totally novice into caching and server prompts, so probably I should not use Redis at all ;-), but I managed to install Redis succesfully through SSH terminal and all seems to be running. One question comes up, does Redis need any server side maintenance or update once installed and running?

    Thanks

    Best
    Carsten

    That would be a good question for the BuddyPress. It’s their responsibility to ensure the plugin works with WordPress’ persistent object cache API.
