BBP_Skip_Children

Skip invalidation of child post content when editing a parent.


Description Description

This prevents invalidating caches for topics and replies when editing a forum or a topic. Without this in place, WordPress will attempt to invalidate all child posts whenever a parent post is modified. This can cause thousands of cache invalidations to occur on a single edit, which is no good for anyone.
