== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= So, how do I cache a shortcode? =

= What does "Cache Scope" mean? =

This defines how granular the cache should be. If you disable all check-boxes, one cache value will be stored for the whole site. If you check 'User ID', a different value will be cached for every logged in user. You can also differentiate it by Post ID or the URI where the short code is displayed.

The "Last Update Timestamp" setting ensures that caches are regenerated if there is an update (a saved post/page) somewhere on the site.
