Triansient doesn't clear in bp_core_get_active_member_count

[timfield]

  function bp_core_get_active_member_count() {

in buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php

has the line

   set_transient( 'bp_active_member_count', $count);

It should be ( or some other sensible time-out ) otherwise this become inaccurate over time.

   set_transient( 'bp_active_member_count', $count, 1 * DAY_IN_SECONDS );

Thanks for the report, timfield. Passive timing out of transients are really for data whose up-to-dateness doesn't matter too much. For counts - where it *does* matter - we use a more aggressive cache-busting strategy. That is, when a new user joints the site, the 'bp_active_member_count' transient should be deleted altogether. If this is not happening on your site, can you please give details? Is it when a new user joins, when a user is deleted, when a user is marked as spam?

@timfield Did you see Boone's comment on your issue? Do you have any feedback?

Closing this due to lack of feedback and clarity over the potential issue.
