Clearing Cache
There are several elements in the frontend of your shop that are cached for performance reasons. The cache is updated automatically when you've altered something in the administration area of your shop. However, if you've edited the database directly, you may need to clear the cache to see the changes you've made. You can clear the cache by clicking on the gear-wheel in the upper right corner of the administration area and by choosing the menu item Clear Cache.
