[wp-testers] flushing cache manually

[Aaron Brazell]

Ran into the same problem here.  Moved the entire tree of my WP install to a
subdomain (which under Plesk is NOT as assumed in the Codex example.com/sub...
it is ~/subdomains/sub/httpdocs and the main domain is simply ~/httpdocs...
in other words, not in the same DOCROOT).

I did this because, as I sent to the list earlier this week, the last few
times I ran an SVN update it bombed my site as it couldn't find the wpdb
class and I was tired of doing that on my live site and then go back and
unroll the changes.  I have a beta site that I typically do development with
and noticed the SVN updates did not have the same effect there.  So my
thought was to get an EXACT replica of my site under the beta subdomain and
start narrowing down what was going on.

In doing so, I ended up with a vicious circular circle of www pointing at
beta and beta pointing at www (stupid mistake on my part) and when I went to
modify the databases, I KNOW the database options table reflected the
accurate locations for 'home' and 'siteurl', but these changes were NOT
being reflected on my site no matter how many times I flushed my browser
cache, etc.

I'm positive this had to do with the wp cache but for the life of me I
couldn't find the emails discussing this. I would like to know how to
completely DISABLE the cache on a temporary basis.
