In our Joomla websites we sometimes see unexpected results, like:

• old layouts
• missing modules
• wrong user specific data

For those situations usually clearing or turning off Joomla's cache will fix the issue. If you don't know what I'm talking about you should probably get professional advice before turning anything off or clearing out the cache.

This FAQ has been written because we have had a case reported where modules didn't show up after upgrading to a new version of EasyTable Pro - even though we don't use Joomla's cache option in EasyTable the solution, as you can probably guess was to clear Joomla's cache.

How do you clear Joomla 1.5's cache? 

Easy, go to the Tools menu and select "Clean Cache".

Selection the options you want to clear and press the "Delete" button. If you have a lot of elements to your website the cache list may have multiple pages.

Usually we just clear the whole cache by clicking on the checkbox under the tab heading "Site".

Finally you can return to the Tools menu and click on the "Purge Expired Cache" menu option then click on the "Purge expired".
