Cache Tab

The Cache tab provides HiAnime's built-in caching controls. Use this to clear cached data whenever you make significant changes to the theme settings, content, or after license activation.

Go to OtakuThemes > Cache to access these settings.

When to Clear Cache

You should clear the cache after:

  • Making changes to any OtakuThemes Dashboard setting
  • Activating or deactivating your license
  • Importing demo content
  • Adding, editing, or deleting anime/episodes in bulk
  • Changing navigation or menu settings
  • Updating the theme to a new version

How to Clear Cache

  1. Go to OtakuThemes > Cache
  2. Click the Clear Cache button (or the relevant button for the cache type)
  3. Wait for the confirmation message
Browser Cache

The built-in cache tool clears the theme's server-side cache. If you still see old content after clearing, also clear your browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete / Cmd+Shift+Delete) and any caching plugin cache (e.g. WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache).

Cache & License Activation

If your license doesn't show as active after activating it in the member area, clearing the cache is usually the fix:

  1. Go to OtakuThemes > Cache
  2. Click Clear Cache
  3. Reload the OtakuThemes > License page
Cloudflare & Server Cache

If you're using Cloudflare or server-level caching (e.g. LiteSpeed, Nginx FastCGI), you may also need to purge the cache from those services. The theme cache tool only clears WordPress-level cache.
