Description
Just like many other plugins offer a feature to flush the WordPress object cache, this plugin allows to flush transients.
Many WordPress sites do not have access to an object cache in their hosting environment, and for those sites transients are the only mechanism for caching data which WordPress natively supports. Being able to clear transients can be crucial for certain use-cases, particularly on sites that do not use an object cache.
This plugin adds a small admin bar menu item where users with the required capabilities can flush transients for the site. For sites not using an object cache, where transients are stored in the database, the menu item also provides information on the amount of transients stored.
Both regular transients and network transients are supported. When using WordPress Multisite, network transients can be flushed in the Network Admin UI.

FAQ
-
Which users can flush transients?
-
The plugin checks for a new capability
flush_transients. By default, it is granted to any user that has themanage_optionscapability.To disable this default behavior, you can unhook the relevant function:
<?php remove_filter( 'user_has_cap', 'flush_transients_grant_cap' );Note however that in this case you will have to grant the capability in another way outside of this plugin.
When using WordPress Multisite, network transients can only be flushed by network administrators by default, relying on a distinct
flush_network_transientscapability. -
Where can I configure the plugin?
-
This plugin doesn’t come with a settings screen or options of any kind. You can flush transients via the admin bar menu item.
